Opportunities
After you accept an opportunity it will appear in the opportunity panel. This will show you the status of your current opportunities. If you chose to abandon an opportunity you accepted, you can right click on the icon and the opportunity will go away.
From the neighborhood view of the map, you can often find locations to visit or people you need to talk to for specific opportunities. If you need to talk to a specific Sim to finish an opportunity, an icon will follow them around the map. If you click on the icons it will give you options. The options will be grayed out if you have not met the requirements yet, it is not the correct day or time, or the Sim is unavailable.
Career Opportunities
Opportunities related to your career will pop up as you progress along your career path. Not accepting these will not cause your Sim to get Demoted or fired. However, completing them will almost always lead to improved performance at work and/or a promotion. If any opportunity requires you to read a book, the book will appear in your Sim's inventory.
For timed opportunities; yes means there is a deadline, no means it can be completed at anytime, immediate directly follows your current work shift, and restrictions means it has to be completed during specific hours or days and usually before a deadline. Be sure to check your opportunities panel for details.
