The Importance of Productivity, Focus and Measurement
By: Harrison Barnes


Career Mission's Chief Executive Officer, Harrison Barnes, discussed the importance of productivity at work. By remaining focused on your work, you will be more productive. Employers like to keep productive employees around. An employer who measures employee productivity will likely be successful and his/her employees will not have to worry about losing their jobs for arbitrary, non-merit based reasons.

Citing examples of good students versus less successful students, Harrison Barnes stresses the importance of knowing where you stand and what you need to do to remain focused and keep productivity up.  Just as is true in an academic setting, your career requires you to be productive. Job security and advancement is best achieved when you know how you measure up, and based on that measurement, how you keep your focus on being productive.

In conclusion, Harrison explains that there is nothing more important in your job than productivity. Without it, you will lose direction in your job. And ultimately, if you are not measuring your productivity, you will lose direction in your 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."

I've had 3 interviews already and I just sent everything out last week-so I'd say that the job search is definitely going better than it was before. Thanks,

I had one very good interview with a company that is very interested but not ready to hire for 12-18 months.
