If something is offered to you and others at the same time...and it is something that your really want...then, reaching out and actually taking it..is called...jumping at the chance......
Same with a job..if it is advertised and you really want it...then jumping at the chance to score that interview is what you call it..
Good luck, dont let an opportunity you want go by...Jump at the chance..ok..

It means to take prompt advantage of; to respond quickly to an opportunity. For example: "When Dad said he'd help pay for my vacation, I jumped at the offer" or "When the lead singer became ill, Sheila jumped at the chance to replace her" or "They offered a large reward, hoping that someone would jump at the bait".

reference to gambling on a hunch. an action where there would be no assurance that the end result would be of favorable outcome, it is like trying to find a light switch on a very dark room. it is the uncertainty that it would bring but one is willing to pursue it's result

It means that, given the oppurtunity to do something (usually something you would like), you would not hesitate to do it. You would do it straight away, without having to think twice!

It means that it's something you want so much that you wouldn't think before doing it. It's like not looking before you leap.

It's like doing jumping jacks because you are so glad about things.
