Career Tip #20: Most top performers keep their ears to the ground for opportunities that will help them advance their careers. They may not be “actively looking” for another job but they always keep their fingers on the pulse of the market and never close their minds to hearing about openings coming up in reputable organizations. This way, when the perfect opportunity opens up, one that is clearly superior to their current position, they can choose to act on it and make a strategic career move.
