Feral Children, Puzzles, Jews, and Filters
By: Harrison Barnes


Career Mission's Chief Executive Officer, A. Harrison Barnes discussed how filters in our lives limit us in many ways.

Harrison believes that the quality of our lives is not determined by the things we own, the jobs we do, the friends we have, the city we live in, the vacations we take, or the world we live in. Instead, the quality of our lives is determined by the filters we use to view the world. Everything that happens to us and our entire response to the world is shaped by the filters that we use.

Our life and career are being influenced, for better or worse, by a set of conscious and unconscious filters, which we use to interpret the world around us and make decisions. We all have a ton of filters about what things represent, which are influencing the choices we make and how much we apply our self every single second of every single day. Many of these filters are limiting us rather than helping us out.

These filters and how we use them are probably the most important fuel in our decision making. Harrison believes that the secret to a happy and fulfilling life is to have filters that empower our experience, rather than limit our experience. We should be aware of our filters at all times, as we think and feel our way through life.

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."
