This week's Top 10 Opportunities

Issue 801, Sun 6 July, 2025
Happy Monday Escapees,
It’s easy to forget this, but job hunting is emotional work.
There’s hope. And doubt. And rejection. And second-guessing. And that weird mix of optimism and exhaustion that only people who’ve written twelve cover letters in a week truly understand.
So if you're in it right now, take a breath. And know this: your next opportunity probably won’t arrive because you were hustling harder — it’ll come because something clicks.
This week’s top 10 is full of potential clicks. Take what resonates. Leave what doesn’t. And keep going.
Happy Escaping!
The Escape Team
