In a world where compromise is more and more appreciated and where experimental learning is more and more valued, the human resources managers are going to start asking in the selection interview: you, what extraordinary thing have you done?

To this day, I have done 6.441 kilometers with both the whike and the bike, 149 hours riding the whike, swum 65 kilometers and 35 gym hours—a total of 139 training days. I am not really counting the whistling of people from their vehicles anymore. A lot of them stick their heads and arms out […]

I have been traveling and came to the realization that, if I did not interact with anyone, my writing was significantly scarce. Nevertheless, as soon as I meet people, as if by magic, my diary started to get more stories and became more convincing. The descriptions of objects, places, climates and smells are alright, but […]

The characters of John Steinbeck in Cannery Row are neither criminals nor courteous neighbors. The whike looks nothing like a bike or a sailboat. It is an extract, the mystery of the incomplete, the perfect little moment, the spoiled and seductive fragment of the ambiguity and the mistake. Sometimes though, you just have to get […]

Hacer entrevistas de selección es tener el privilegio de observar cómo otros despliegan y aprovechan su oportunidad. Así lo veo yo. No pierdo de vista mis objetivos como seleccionador pero también deseo que los consigan los demás. Hago muchas al cabo del año. Escucho y aprendo. En una ocasión conocí a una mujer que había […]

I parked my whike at a plaza facing the city hall’s arcade. It was Sunday at noon and a bunch of well-groomed kids were running down the street yelling “to the church, to the church”. When they noticed the whike, they stopped suddenly like forgetting where they were headed to. From a corner, a old […]
