Fortunate? You get a job based on fortunes of life?

Yep. According to the NY Times (the job market section of which I check
every
Sunday), roughly 80% of all the professional positions never get
advertised. The
people who land them get turned onto the position by their friends. The PC
term
for this is "networking." Another way to put it is that you can land a
decent
job if you're lucky.

Or if you're tenacious and willing to work "outside the box". The rest
shower the job boards with resumes, probably 99% of which don't address a
specific position and are boilerplate.

Which traits would you look for if hiring someone?
