LinkedIn Talent Solutions developed a very useful guide for HR interviewers to screen candidates in terms of soft skills… Why not using this list to get prepared?

These are the most popular questions:

  • Adaptability: Tell me about a time when you were asked to do something you had never done before. How did you react? What did you learn?
  • Culture fit: What are the three things that are most important to you in a job?
  • Collaboration: Give an example of when you had to work with someone who was difficult to get along with. How did you handle interactions with that person?
  • Leadership: Tell me about the last time something significant didn’t go according to plan at work. What was your role? What was the outcome?
  • Growth potential: Recall a time when your manager was unavailable when a problem arose. How did you handle the situation? With whom did you consult?
  • Prioritisation: Tell me about a time when you had to juggle several projects at the same time. How did you organize your time? What was the result?

Give me excess of it; that surfeiting,

When Art Meets Philosophy And Questions Identity

Video by Matteo Frittelli – Anish Kapoor | Descension for Galleria Continua, 2015

 

In this interview realised for a recent solo show in Italy, the British artist Anish Kapoor presents his views on what art and artists are. He draws a parallel with a journey « to discover something » which has to provoke a reflection through (maybe unconsciously) philosophical questions, inducing poetry and beyond.

Interestingly, he also makes a distinction between artworks and what those works really are, the same way our own identity cannot be simply resumed in the body we live in.

« If you think of ourselves, our bodies as an object, we occupy ourselves but I know I’m not just this. I think the same is true of all these things that we reflect upon as art. It’s a very special condition but in art there is this possibility of the object being something else. » ― Anish Kapoor

This refers to concepts such as identity, ego and the fundamental question of who we are, as explored by several generations of philosophers and psychologists. I will not initiate a never ending lecture that will cause more confusion than clarification. I will just repeat what the writer Eckhart Tolle wrote in one of his recent works, offering a very contemporary and accessible synthesis of Eastern spiritual teaching and old traditions…

“You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.” ― Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening To Your Life’s Purpose
