Being Who You Want to Be
By: Harrison Barnes


Career Mission's Chief Executive Officer, A. Harrison Barnes discussed the importance of embracing’s one’s individuality.

The strongest force in the human personality is the need to stay consistent with how we define and view ourselves.  In order to survive and to be loved and appreciated, we believe that we need to stay the same at all times. However, according to Harrison trying to be one personality all the time will make you unhappy. You need to appreciate all the multiple qualities of your personality. They are what make your being unique, and needed on this earth.

We all have multiple personalities. However, many of us are extremely unhappy overall because we never allow ourselves to be all of our different personalities–to experience all the possibilities of who we are and how we feel.  There is a tremendous pressure to conform. The concepts of conformity and the expectation of being “perfect” cause us much pain True perfection is nearly impossible to achieve. 

Harrison advises you to explore and embrace your individuality.  It is your strength. Your career and your life are too short.  Stop worrying about what everyone else thinks about you, and worry about what you think about you.  Don’t be imprisoned by others’ expectations for you. In order to be truly happy you need to make sure that you are everything you want to be–your own person.

We often come to respect and endear people most who have learned to let their originality and true selves flow outward. So do this: Let it flow.  Let the world see what you have to offer, and it shall embrace your uniqueness.

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."
