How
To Pull Off The Winning Interview
By Doc Vetter
Ok,
so you've sent out resume' after resume' and you have
finally gotten an interview with a company that you
think you would like to work for.
How
do you prepare so that you have the best chance of
getting the job? I mean they have other people to interview
and some may be more qualified than you. What if there
is a way to get the job anyway?
You
already have the qualifications to do the job that
is what got you the interview. Now you have to compete
with all the other qualified applicants. How do you
set yourself apart? How do you make yourself so valuable
that they just have to offer you the job? How do you
pull off the Winning Interview?
The
answer starts in one place. It starts in the place
where your competition will not be paying attention.
It starts in your mind, that's right it starts in your
attitude.
In
this article we're going to discuss a few ways when
practiced and combined will set you apart from all
the other applicants and get you the job you want.
Before
we get started the first thing to consider is what
is the best frame of mind to be in during the interview?
Most people say when they are relaxed, confident, friendly
and comfortable they are at their best.
Here
is an Accelerated Success Strategy to use in the Interview:
Put yourself in the frame of mind that you are meeting
a long lost friend, one that you haven't seen for ages.
Get curious about them and what's going on with them.
You might think, "What have you been doing with
yourself all this time?"
When
you walk in with this "State of Mind" you
not only portray relaxed, confident, friendly and comfortable
but the Interviewer feels, relaxed, confident, friendly
and comfortable toward you and they don't even know
why. It just feels good.
This
way you don't have to learn how to create Rapport,
like talking about the fish on the wall, you simply
assume Rapport and the outcome of Rapport is "trust".
They trust you immediately when you treat them like
a long lost friend.
Here
is another Accelerated Success Strategy to use, it
is language based and presupposes that you meet all
the requirements and are the best person for the job:
"Tell
me about the way you see the perfect person for this
position?
After
they answer;
"As
we sit here, looking at me as the perfect candidate
for this position out of all the things you like in
the perfect person what's the one thing that you can
look back on, as you feel good, and say that was one
of the best decisions I've ever made?"
Remember
people do what they do for what's in it for them. Beyond
what the company wants interviewers hire people that
make them feel good. These types of questions do that
and they keep Rapport and trust is built toward you.
There
are some advanced strategies beyond these and yet these
are some of the easiest to put into practice and get
the best job possible.
