Could you elaborate on how accepting it improved your career? Did it change the way you interview or the kinds of jobs you accept?

  It made me realise my normal process of: - going on $JOB_BOARD - sending out CV & Cover letter - talking to recruiter - going to 3 interviews - rinse and repeat Wasn't working. I was not in demand. I had to constantly reach out to people, just to get interviews at places I didn't really want to work for. And even then they'd usually reject me. It was a wake up call that I was on the fast track to nowhere, and something had to change. Ended up specialising in an industry and doing contract work. I'm not super successful yet, but there's a lot more interest in me. My work days are much less frustrating and I'm earning more.

    Looks like I am on a similar path to you but you are a couple of steps ahead of me. Is there a place I can contact you with a few questions. I'd really appreciate it.
