The Importance of Fitting In
By: Harrison Barnes


EmploymentScape Chief Executive Officer, Harrison Barnes discusses the importance of fitting in one’s work environment.
Harrison believes that the ability to fit in is one of the single largest contributors, in both getting and keeping a job. It is even more important than your skill levels. A lot of very highly qualified people start their careers on a real high. They are able to get into some of the most prestigious organizations. However if they are able to fit into the work culture of the organization, they stay and grow. Else they are forced to keep changing jobs. They end up blaming their career problems on circumstances which are actually self- imposed.

What exactly is fitting in? It is nothing but being comfortable in one’s work environ and making others around similarly comfortable. Fitting in means sharing a common set of beliefs and philosophies about the world. Employers want to hire people who will embrace, on philosophical and moral levels, their approach towards business and the world.

Harrison points out that the drive to succeed for certain people, dictates that they only go to the hiring organizations that are the most universally recognized as the best. The concept of fitting in is so often ignored, when it is the most important aspect to consider.

Harrison strongly feels that your happiness and the success of your career depend on the ability to recognize when you fit in and when you do not.

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."
