Your Job is a Game: Externalize your opponents to win it.
By: Harrison Barnes


EmploymentScape Chief Executive Officer, Harrison Barnes, discusses how companies and professionals can succeed by externalizing the opponent.
Harrison compares any job to a game. How well we play the game determines our success or failure in our jobs.
As in any game, in our jobs too, we need to play by the rules and recognize our limits. Being a team player is extremely important to succeed in our jobs. Team players ward off any negativity in the office and always steer clear of petty politics. In short, they don’t create internal opponents.
Identifying the external opponents brings people within organizations together to fight for a common purpose. It keeps employees charged up.

Forbes Reports 151,352 Layoffs for January Itself; Employment Authority Proposes Alternative Job Search Approach

Pasadena, CA — According to a compilation by Forbes recently, there were 151,352 layoffs at America’s 500 largest public companies in the month of January. MORE


"There are always vacancies. Organizations are born, organizations expand, workers become restless, quit, change jobs, move, become ill long-term, or become handicapped, retire, or die. There are always jobs out there waiting to be filled. The fact that you can't find those jobs only means the vacancy hasn't been advertised, or you're not using the right method to find it. When the Internet or job-postings, or agencies, or ads, or resumes, don't work, there are other ways of turning up the job you want. So, if you're coming up 'empty,' you need to change the search method you've been using. ... To speed up your search for one of the jobs that are out there, go after many different organizations, instead of just one or two."
