Being open to a variety of options gives us more scope for success.  At the same time, it can spread us too thin.  It turns out that being persuasive about our ability to do a job requires more than a cursory understanding of that job, to be competitive.  We definitely need to start by listing our options.  Then we need to select one to delve into it intensely.  By doing this fairly early on we get practice presenting a deeper and more nuanced picture of what we have to offer.
