Finding a good job is what percent luck, what percent hard work, and what percent based on connections?

Answer 1

10% luck

40% hard work

50% connection

For me, everything is hard to start at the beginning, it really needs a lot of hard work. Then, if you are willing to step out the first step, the second step is a lot more easier. The difficulty is some people have failed even they first step haven't finished. I don't really believe in luck. I believe that if you are willing to work hard. Lucks will come on the way.

Answer 2

Some say that hard work geared to the right goal is what makes your luck. Connections can sometimes help you get a foot in the door, but it will still be your hard work that leads to success.

The formula is different for each of us.

Answer 3

I am on job number 3 in my life in the 20 years since I graduated from college.

Connections do NOT matter.

Ambition DOES matter.

If you present yourself well, you will be hired.

I have literally applied for jobs that did not exist. My second job I applied for at a company that had recently downsized. The business manager that I had interviewed with was so impressed with my ENTHUSIASM to work for the company, that he arranged a meeting with the President of the company. Afterward, they both agreed that they needed to CREATE a position for me so that I did not go to work for the competition.

Answer 4

80% connections
15% luck
5% hard work

that's been my experiences. With that said, my connections knew I was a good worker... so we might have to bump that percentage of hard work up a bit

Answer 5

hard work creates your luck and your connections.

Answer 6

10% luck

60% hard work

25% connections.

What can I say, I attended a government sanctioned child abuse indoctrination center (public school).
