Add Value at Every Turn
By: Harrison Barnes


EmploymentScape Chief Executive Officer, Harrison Barnes discusses the importance of adding value to any job.

Companies want to surround themselves with people who work hard and are out to give more than they take. The worst thing you can do in any job is focus on performing at the minimum level for what you are earning. Your task in every job is to add as much value as you can to your employer. You need to understand that if you do not add value, you may not have a job.

The primary purpose of any business, job, industry, or service is to add value in greater proportion than the cost of what you are hired for. This is what the entire business world is about. In your job, you are selling your skills and your employer is trying to make money from your skills.

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 Americas 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."
