When it comes to job searching, it’s easy to feel like success depends on luck, being in the right place at the right time or knowing someone on the inside. But here’s the truth: what looks like luck is often preparation in disguise.

Whether you’re fresh out of college or stepping back into the workforce after time away, preparation is what helps you show up ready, confident, and clear-headed. It’s what helps you nail the interview, write a strong resume, or ask the right question during an informational interview. And it doesn’t happen all at once, it happens step by step.

Preparation is researching the companies you're applying to. It's practicing answers to common interview questions. It's taking a moment to update your LinkedIn profile or reflect on your values and career goals. The more prepared you are, the less you rely on luck, because you’ve already done the work to show up as your best self.

So if things feel uncertain or overwhelming right now, start small. Preparation is progress. And with each step, confidence grows. And if you're feeling stuck or unsure where to begin, you're not alone. Sometimes having a guide makes all the difference.
