Good opportunities are few and far between in this competitive job market.


"Few and far between" is an idiomatic expression used to describe something that is not common, rare, or happens infrequently. It indicates scarcity or infrequency, suggesting that instances of something are separated by considerable intervals of space or time. For example, "Vacations are few and far between when you're starting a new business," meaning they don't happen often.
