Yes, to be literally ‘sought out’ you would probably need some level of experience at that point. And yes, you need talent. But in order to gain that experience, the talent alone can help you get it.

Remember, I didn’t start with any experience either. A display of talent ‘got me in’. Then I had to ‘stay in’.

That’s where delivering on that talent comes in. This where you prove yourself, show your professionalism and even personality comes into play. And a little luck never hurts.

Once you deliver, the word of mouth (hopefully) kicks in. That’s when the ‘sought out’ stuff starts to happen. People are in control of their ‘delivery’ to get that ball rolling. Of course, if there’s no work, there’s not much to be done about it.

And don’t forget you have had your toe in. Many others don’t even get that. Focusing on what you do have and want will bring you more of it. I know it’s hard, but the negative stuff just multiplies on itself.

You never know when that opening will come, so be ready for it.
