A war between science and art.

recruitment success

the process of recruitment

As per the Merriam-Webster dictionary: “Science is the state of knowing.” “Art is something that is created with imagination and skill and that is beautiful or that expresses important ideas or feelings.” Therefore science is fact and art has no boundaries. So if I am an artist as an entrepreneur, I must use skill to create business opportunities that express important ideas. Then, am I not knowledgable? So, is art not a subset of science?

The war between science and art may be as complex as the war between science and religion. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines religion in several ways. One of which states that religion is “an interest, a belief, or an activity that is very important to a person or group”. This makes professional success a religion. Professional success is an interest, belief and activity that is important to job seekers and the prospering workforce.

Whilst I class myself as being a member of this religion, there is one area in which I can definitively declare myself both a scientist and an artist as well. As a recruiter and a recruitment mentor, I rely on the art of selection and the science of persuasion. It is because of this that there is always an open door somewhere.

Professional Behaviour voted as Top Employability Criteria

A recent study involving HR professionals in Australia uncovered that professional behaviour is a must have of a suitable job applicant. “Without a suitable appearance, manners and communication style, all other details of an applicant become irrelevant”.

Dress Codes Decoded

Dressing for success can be a quite the feat. Have you ever begun to get ready for an interview and thought you had everything under control only to realise there were many unwelcome surprises along the way? From torn stockings to broken zippers, dressing for success may not be as easy as we may think. There are many factors to consider when choosing your attire for a particular professional occasion. These may include temperature, chance of rain, how much walking may be involved and even the likely presence of food. The fabric that shirt might be made of, might be too itchy to wear to an interview. It might also be too bold. We can break this topic down into four main categories for easier days ahead. Factors to consider within these categories will be discussed in a future post.

 

Fabric and Fit: Weight, creases, durability, tightness, bagginess

Accessories: Modern, appropriate, convenient

Colour: Appropriate to event

Expression of Style: How much style can you unleash?
