Watch Waste in Your Job: Save your Employer Money
By: Harrison Barnes


EmploymentScape Chief Executive Officer, Harrison Barnes talks about the difference between people who survive in recessions, and those who end up being cut.

When a recession is at hand, or when an industry is experiencing a contraction, companies very quickly become interested in saving as much money as possible. They look around to see who is working hard and adding value and who is not.

In your job, you need to ensure that you are providing as much value as possible. If you see waste occurring in your job and you know the work you are doing can be done in a more efficient way, you need to point this out to your superiors.

People who do not put in extra effort, or who cause lots of waste in the company, may find they are out of a job when a recession or restructuring hits. You need to ensure that you are always creating value and are creating far more value than you are worth.

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."

What Our Clients Are Saying
Everything was great and I would definitely recommend it to the others.
- M.D.

I sent them out a while ago (probably a week and a half) and there were over 100. I got probably 4 interviews out of the mailings so far, but I haven't found anything yet that fits what I want to do.
- Sarah

I mailed my resumes and I have started to get responses. So far: two calls for interviews (yeah!) Thank you,
- Jennifer S
