Exploiting situations selfishly (13)

I believe the answer is:

opportunistic

(Other definitions for opportunistic that I've seen before include "Exploiting openings" , "Exploiting immediate opportunities" , "Taking immediate advantage" , "Exploitative" , "Ready to take any advantage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
