Have Trust in Others and Be Ready to Seize Opportunity However it Presents Itself
By: Harrison Barnes


EmploymentScape’s Chief Executive Officer, A. Harrison Barnes as he discussed how trusting people and being ready to take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves are two of the greatest skills anyone can have. 

Harrison believes that deep down all people are good, though there are a ton of people out there who society judges to be evil and unworthy of help.  Our biggest challenge is to believe in people and trust them.

When you are taking up any job, you need to have faith and trust in your employer.  Simultaneously, you need to trust yourself that you have the ability to do the job. This is something that is extremely important and that will serve you well if you are in the right organization. Most people do not trust their employers and, consequently, they paint themselves into a hole.
 
Harrison strongly believes that in life, one can move ahead only if one takes risks. The greater the risk, the greater is the reward. Many of us are afraid to take advantage of opportunity when it presents itself and consequently miss out on our chance to succeed in life. 

Harrison concludes that trusting oneself and others and being willing to take risks in life are ultimately what will lead us to the highest level of success in our lives and career.

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."
