Making a Better World
The steps of The Faremouth Method™ are a way to honor the fullness of what makes each human being unique. Whether one is a job seeker, a recruiter, or an employer, this work we do together to place people in jobs that fulfill them is not simply an economic task. It is where the personal becomes universal. When we make better matches, we create a stronger economy and a more stable workforce. This leads to fewer broken families, lower healthcare costs, and higher stability in our business world. The old model of simply matching a resume to a job description—of matching one piece of paper to another—is how we lost the fine art required to help people into the jobs that mean the most to them. We are called now, by the downturn in our economy and the rapidly changing workforce, to learn the skill of matching the whole person to the job. Something changes in the human psyche when we reduce complex human beings, with their own hopes and dreams, to simple pieces of paper. We lose something of what binds us together as a human community. Making a good match is critical for employers, recruiters, and applicants all over the globe. Happy, productive employees contribute to a thriving socioeconomic culture in a major way and have far-reaching effects on profitability, healthcare costs, and economic growth for a company. The right employee is a long-term investment that always pays off. We would all benefit from this revolutionary way of hiring, so we need to get on board now, embrace these new concepts, and begin spreading the word among our colleagues and peers. I practice The Faremouth Method™ for what I believe is the greater good. It’s a technique that honors the complexity of being human and makes the world a better place.
How to Love Your Job
Loving what you do for a living begins with knowing who you are. When I traveled to Greece on a school trip with my younger son back in 2009, we visited the Temple of Apollo in Delphi. There, I saw a Greek inscription, the translation of which spoke to me: know thyself. It is said that, in ancient times, the Temple of Apollo emitted powerful vapors that gave the oracles amazing powers to make future predictions, and I truly felt a different type of energy there. In reflecting on this inscription, it hit me how profound the idea know thyself is for us as human beings. And as a recruiter, self-knowledge is critically important; we must know ourselves, our clients, and the folks we are hoping to place. Knowing myself is vital to the job I perform daily. For me to make a good match of a candidate to a job, I have to dig deep, or “scrub down hard” as one client recently said in a testimonial, to find out who I am, who the client company is, who the candidate is, and how their passions and interests might align. If you do not know thyself and what your true skill set is, we must go on a mission to identify those qualities before we can make a good match. Sometimes, self-knowledge comes easily. Other times, it takes months or even years to find the answer to the question Who am I? But when you know what you are passionate about, you can find a job that will align beautifully to those qualities. When you don’t, you may go through many positions without finding where you are destined to be. As a job seeker, you must take the time to answer such a key question before you take the next job. It makes all the difference in finding a good fit and having a career you will enjoy for many years. It’s crucial to your happiness—not only in finding a great job for yourself, but in finding out your true purpose and life destiny. This is how people come to love and feel a deep sense of loyalty to their jobs and to the companies they work for.
