Job Interview Tips - Part 1

This article is going to be very different from all the usual articles on job interviews in that I am not going to go into the specifics about what questions you may be asked or what kind of answers you will give, instead I am going to talk about 'that first impression' and how you can get the interviewer to fall in love with you from the moment you walk in the door.

You may have all heard the phrase 'be yourself' well the job interview is one place when this is not helpful! Instead I am going to explain to you how you become the person that the interviewer must have working for the company!

The techniques I am about to share with you are extremely powerful and can be used in all walks of life (especially dating!) and not just for job interviews.

They come from a science called NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and are the basic techniques used by some of the world's greatest influencers such as Tony Robbins, Al Gore etc.

Have you ever had that feeling when you are on a roll and nothing can go wrong? Well that's the feeling you need to have when you enter the room for your interview.

To elicit that state you first need to remember a time when that happened to you, maybe it was a sport you where playing when you could do no wrong and won easily or a meeting you had where everything fell exactly in place just like you wanted it to!

On the flip side you may have had days were nothing has gone right for you, everything you did was a complete disaster. So what's the difference between having a great day and one that's terrible? The difference is the neurological state that you were in.

Now I need you to access that state you were in when you were at the top of your game, to do this you need to go back in your mind to the time when you felt absolutely awesome, undefeatable, on top of the world!

What we are going to do is make a 'personal' video production of those events in your mind so that whenever you want you can replay your video and feel as great now as you did then.

So take that image of a time you felt awesome and visualize it, what does it look like to you? Try changing the picture in your mind, make it brighter add more colour keep playing with that picture until you get the best representation of the event you possible can.

Next I want you to listen to the sounds that you heard at the event, maybe someone was praising you or a crowd was cheering, whatever it was play with the sounds like the volume, tempo, uniqueness etc until you get the best possible sound 'quality' for your production.

Now I want you to physically feel what was going on at the time, were you stood ramrod straight, had a big smile on your face? If you are doing this now along with reading this then I bet you can already feel a difference in the way you feel?

I want you to play this 'personal' video every time you need to be in a state of resourcefulness, if you walk into a room feeling like that then unconsciously everybody around you will feel the aura that you have and immediately perceive you to be a winner.

In the second part of this series I am going to give you some tips on how to create immediate rapport with everybody you come into contact with.

Good Job Hunting.
