How do you get headhunted...?

I’m still going through that stage in your life when you have no idea what you want to do or what you will be successful at. I have a 2 year old son and stay at home at the moment and this keeps me rather busy although I do need to start seriously thinking about and studying for (perhaps) whatever it is I want to do. Which really…i have been doing since 1993!!!

Because of my financial situation (lots of debt) i need to be earning more than £25,000 a year in order to go back to work and make a difference to our lifestyle. (I’m a single parent).

Anyway, I’m very creative and have sang professionally, been an Operations Manager for an advertising company, created bespoke artwork for people. I’m into arty thigns generally…good at photography, dance, i can generally put my hand to anything… but the real question is…

Can you get head-hunted by just putting bits of your creativity out there…“networking” in a mild form I guess..?? Or do you think you need to set your mind on one thing and go for it with everything you’ve got?

I know i’m in danger of getting the old axiom of “you create your own opportunities” and similar quotes but…is it too much to ask…to want a little angel to say….“now that is quality…and that’s what you should do with your life” and provide the forum and opportunity for you to make the money doing it?
