Interviewers as "Terminators?". . . How to Bypass the Torture!

Got an important interview lined up? Ready for what the interviewer is going to do to you? Your anxiety level is probably ratcheted up to "severe."

Most job-seekers find interviewing intimidating. Some are absolutely petrified. And the more they dwell on it, the more frightened they become.

Of course there's some common sense advice that hopefully can alleviate some of the pressure.

First, you have to realize that interviewers are not monsters or demons or torturers. They're just people like you, holding down jobs. They're folks playing parts in the real life drama we're living. Secondly, you may be afraid of authority and loss of control. Realizing that can help dispel that fear.

Whatever it is you can psych yourself by affirming that you're going to go in and play by the rules. That includes pulling out all the stops to become a winner. It also means that you don't win every time. And if you don't get the job at least you'll walk away knowing that you gave it your best shot. Chances are you won't make the same mistakes again.

But common sense advice doesn't get job offers. This win/lose scenario with its encouraging recommendations for success is based on what we have called a "traditional" job search program. You know what I mean . . . you write and rewrite your resume; mass distribute it to plenty of job sites and companies, dozens of "job openings" want ads, may be some agencies and recruiters. And then wait for the phone to ring . . . and the invitations to interview.

Chances are those precious interviews are few and far between. You probably get discouraged waiting for the phone to ring. After while you rewrite your resume and repeat the process all over again.

If you do get an interview, it's a "traditional" interview. That means you'll initially be meeting with personnel staff interviewers or low-level assistants who will ask standard questions in an effort to screen you out. And you'll be interviewing along with a lot of other candidates who are in competition with you.

If the interview gods are smiling on you, you may get booted upstairs to eventually meet face-to-face with the person who could be your next boss. Of course, by this time, the competition has intensified significantly.

It's no wonder you think of interviewers as torturers. It's no wonder your anxiety level has skyrocketed! But it doesn't have to be that way.

What if I told you there's a fabulous alternative job search plan that can show you how to bypass the whole resume/interview hoopla and get you directly to the hiring decision-maker who's going to make the ultimate decision about bringing you on board . . . and without all the competition?

Don't miss this opportunity to check out "The World's Fastest Alternative Job Search System!" You could be meeting face-to-face with your next boss in a matter of days. You could be entertaining job offers in as little as two weeks!
