Helping career professionals to pass more job interviews.
We have put together a series of 3 videos to help you influence the job interview using Psychology, NLP and Hypnotic persuasion techniques.
During this small series, you will learn how to delve into the employer’s mind to really understand what they desire, you will command the interview by selling your skills using the interview answer structure pattern and you will learn to use hypnotic language patterns in the job interview.
So let’s get started with Video One of Three
Interviewers are tricky places, and more often then not the interviewee does not know how their interview is going. Imagine you could read the interviewers micro facial expressions, so you knew if your answer was hitting the mark, imagine you could just by looking at the employer you knew if they liked you or not.
Micro expressions are hard to hide which means you will really know what the other person is thinking, just by looking at their face and this Article will teach you how to read the interviewers micro expressions and later you can participate in an interactive micro expression test yourself.
Micro expressions happen so quick and are so instant that if you the micro reader blink you can miss them. This is why reading micro expressions is a key to understanding how someone really feels, as the subject often doesn’t know that they have made them – micro movements are made through unconscious movements of the muscles
1. Sadness – narrowed eyes, eyebrows together, down-pointed mouth, and a pulling up of the chin
2. Anger – lowered eyebrows, tense lips and eye lids and wrinkled forehead
3. Contempt – single raised corner of the mouth, slight tightening of the eyelids (sneer)
4. Disgust – raising of upper lip, narrowed eyes, wrinkled nose and narrowed eye brows
5. Surprise – dropped jaw, relaxed lips and mouth, widened eyes and slightly raised eyelids and eyebrows
6. Fear – eyes and mouth open rather widely, eyebrows raised and nostrils flared
7. Happiness – raising corner of lips and cheeks, narrowing eyes to produce “crow’s feet” on the outside of each eye

The interview for some is one of their most uncomfortable experiences they will have, having to sell your skills to outwit the other applicants, to a panel of interviewers. Many applicants know they can add value to the new organisation, with their skill base embedded in there job sector not in passing job interviews.
With experience on both sides of the table I understand the importance of standing out from the interview crowd, but make sure you stand positively not negatively. After a long day of interviewing the last candidate sat down and introduced himself, they say that interviewers make their mind up in the first 5-10 minutes of the interview, but in reality people make generalisations in the first 5-10 seconds. I immediately formed a negative opinion of this guy, maybe it was his lack of eye contact or the sweat stains under his armpits, for whatever reason I didn’t think he would suit our team, and the interview prove me right. With most interviewees like this, you quickly forget them, but 10 years later and can still remember him, because he stood out from the crowd. It took the whole interview for this applicant to stand out from the crowd, which he achieved as I was walking him to the exit, when he turned around, and said confidently for the first time throughout the whole interview “can you please refund my bus ticket” I was so shocked that I actually took hold of the bus ticket, and put my hand in my trouser pocket with the change in it, until I looked at the date and realised the daily bus ticket was three days out of date.
Standing out from the crowd will get you remembered and when used right can be used to your interview advantage. I worked recently with one client, who had a large skill base but often failed in job interviews. She was so frustrated that I coached her to try a new technique. As the interview was progressing, she again realised that her answers were not hitting the mark and the interviewer looked a little bored. During her the next interview answer she used the killer line, that would make her stand out and change the interviewers opinion of her forever. “I know you have been interviewing all day and are probably feeling a little tiered, and to be honest with you I know I can add value to your team, but I also know that I’m not the best at interviews. So, my proposal is this, I will give you £400 if you let me work for you for a week for free. If I’m as good as I know I am, you will be highly impressed and will want to hire me, if not you get to keep the £400. I know this sounds a little out the box, but I also know that you will be highly impressed with my work ethic and skill base”
She was offered a job, without having to gamble the £400. It doesn’t matter how you make yourself stand out positively in the job interview, but this is the key to winning more job offers as employers want to know how much added value you can bring to the team.

Hello Chris, and thank you for joining me today. I must say the title of your book is very intriguing, but before we discussed your new book can you tell our readers where are you from?
Hi, and thank you for inviting me down. I was born and bred in Manchester UK and still live their today.
And what is your background?
I have always been interested in helping people and my background is in employment training and careers advice. I get a real buzz from helping people make positive choices that can change their lives. In more recent years I have moved into the coaching and hypnotherapy industry.
That’s really interesting, do you have much success?
Yes, you know I surprise myself sometimes. I get clients who come in with a life long phobia and within an hour they are cured, it’s quite amazing really. I love to see their surprised faces when they look at a spider after the session and they don’t feel the need to run away.
And more recently you have written an interview book – the 73 rules for influencing the interview using psychology, nlp and hypnotic persuasion techniques. I really like the line hypnotic persuasion techniques. What does this book teach the reader?
The book is designed to give the interviewee the upper hand in the job interview, you will learn 73 new rules to gain more job offers. It’s not the general tips you normally read like “wear a smart suit” these tips are a bit outdated, this book will teach you how to use psychology to get the employer to like you, to want you and at the best to desire you.
Are you saying you can actually hypnotise the interview using hypnotic persuasion techniques?
I don’t advice readers to pull out a gold watch and swing from side to side saying “employ me, employ me” but you can use certain words to get the interviewer to think about you in a certain way.
To get them to like you?
Well yes, but more then that you want the employer to imagine you being successful while working for them. This way the employer will get that gut feeling about you – they will want to hire you but they won’t know why.
OK so you can create desire and want?
Yes, you have to remember that most interviewers interview all day and they often forget who said what, but you can influence how they feel about you, so that when they re-read your name on the application list they remember thinking that you would really fit in, or that you were the one interviewee who would add value to the team.
So you can become needed?
More then that, these days the interviewee needs to become irresistible, make the employer believe that they have to hire you or they will miss out.
What if the interview, through first impressions doesn’t like you?
This is a big barrier for many nervous interviewees, the book using the fast phobia cure can boost the readers interview confidence and teaches the psychology of making a first impression..
The book will actually cure someone’s phobia of interviews?
Yes, that bits pretty easy. But even better you will learn how to reframe the interviewer opinion of you through the way you phrase your answer.
This all sounds fascinating, is there a message in your book that you want readers to grasp?
Yes, I would say that the old saying is true that practice makes perfect don’t just read this book, practice the techniques before you attend the interview this way you will perform at your best.
It’s been fascinating talking to you, you remind me a little of Derren Brown. Can you tell our readers where they can buy the book from?
Thank you what a great compliment, I might have to grow a goatee! The book is available at all good books shops and on Amazon. Or on my company website www.employmentking.co.uk
Scaling is a technique taken from the ‘solution focus’ therapy and as you are about to learn they can be used as part of your interview preparation which means you can perform at your best at your next interview. Job
The following set of questions are simple which means they are highly effective, I often use the following scaling questions with all my interview coaching clients as they gain really positive results, seeing changes in just one session. By looking at your interview on a scale you have the advantage of visualising yourself from a different perspective, allowing you to find the solutions to your interview problems and barriers.
While answering the scaling questions, record your answers on the scaling sheet and review these once you have completed this exercise.
First print of the scale; on a scale of 1-10, think about your interview skills; your confidence, your answers, your preparation, the way you look, your voice, the handshake you give, the initial impression you make – everything that you do during the interview; with ten representing you at your best and one representing you at your worst, where on the scale are you today? Draw a circle around the number that represents you.
This is a great exercise to start your interview preparation that is easily learnt. Come back to the technique after each job interview and compare where you are on the scale compared to previous times. Many clients complete this exercise when they know they have had a bad interview, but I like to use the scale after a good interview this way I KNOW what I need to do to perform at my best.

Psychology is the study of the human mind and human behavior, which means if you understood the psychology of job interviews you would be offered more jobs BECAUSE you will turn your interviewer into your puppet. Imagine you new how to influence the job interview; psychological interview tips will teach how to control the interviewer, how make them dance to your tune and how to get any job you want – no wonder employers don’t want you to know these dangerous techniques.
The following psychology techniques will give you the edge of other interview applicants. Be aware these techniques are not for the faint harted, they will get you more job offers but kill your conscience.
We are hard wired to stereotype. When you first meet someone or when the interviewer first see you, your unconscious quickly processes everything you see and hear in a matter of seconds, and puts you into a category. This is why you need to look smart and act confident because in the first 10 seconds the interviewer will decide if they like you or not! Throughout the interviewer they will filter your interview answers with their “like” or “dislike” filters. And we all know once you have decided to dislike someone it is hard for that person to change their mind, this is because the interviewer will look for evidence to back up your initial opinion.
For example, if you meet your friends boss, and you initial think that’s he’s a bit of a flirt before he even opens his mouth, you will start to look for signs that he is a flirt and you will take what he say’s and ask “did he say that because he’s a flirt?” We don’t like to be wrong, so humans will look for evidence to back up our opinions.
Smiling can increase likeability, but unconsciously we know if your smile is real or fake and once your fake smile has been uncovered the interviewer will have a less favorable opinion of you.
To create a real smile, remember a time that you went to a party and seen an old friend that you haven’t seen for many years. Imagine you were there now, and see the friend from your own eyes, see what you can see, hear what you can hear and feel how you felt. Your smile will automatically come to your face, and it this true smile that you want to show to the interviewer.
People like happy, confident and bubbly people. To come across this way all you need to do is smile. Have you ever seen a baby smile? It’s hard to resist, if the baby smiles, you want to smile, don’t you? Your probably already smiling now just at the thought of a baby smile. Confident people talk with their hands and are open at using facial expressions, because this is a natural way for us to communicate. Being friendly, open, smiley and happy will have a positive psychological impact on your interviewer.
We all hate bigheads and show off’s. So if you’re the type of interviewee who likes to show off, say good bye to the job offer. In the job interview you need to associate yourself with positively and good emotions. By praising the company, complimenting the interviewer and generally showing enthusiasm the interviewer will associate you with the good feelings they are having, as the praise will make the interviewer feel good, as they feel good they associate this emotion with you, saying “I like this guy, I have a great gut feeling about him”
Top athletes, as we seen at the recent London Olympics are performing at there best through the technique of visualisation. As explained in the influencing the interview book, using mental imagery will boost your performance. Athletes will visulise themselves performing at their optimum, being successful and winning their race. Interviewees can also use this techniques to become more confident, to perform at there best and to overcome any hurdles, by visualizing themselves winning job interviews. Your subconscious doesn’t know the difference between a real experience and an imagine experience which is why dreams are so powerful, you sometimes wake up and don’t if the dream was real or not. This means that your memory will remember feeling positive at a job interview, so next time you attend a real job interview you will automatically remember these confident interview feelings.
We have story telling embedded into our consciousness, at primary school we are told stories and metaphors as part of our learning process. In the days gone by, man sat around camp fires shared wisdom through the use of stories. So it is obvious that we all like stories and if you can add a bit of suspense to your interview answer story you will grip the listener – the interviewer.
We all take in information differently through our senses (Visual, kinesthetic or Auditory) Through brain scans we have seen that a visual person will have a large visual lobe then say a auditory person. People will tell you how they process information vie the words they use visual people will use words such as see, visualize, sight, observe, picture. Kinesthetic will use words including get a grip, touch, grasp, cold, gut feeling and auditory people may use the following words hear, sound, louder, tune, that rings a bell. If you use the words the employer filters information with then your answers will be more understood.
Evidence has highlighted that interviewers will forget a large amount of the information given by the interviewer, with some interviewers believing one interviewee said one thing when in reality of different interviewee said it. Two interviewers who interview the same person at the same time, will compare notes only to find that their answers and opinions of the person vary – this means you need to ensure that throughout your interview, your interview answer, your key selling points need to be fully understood by the interviewer and this is the key goal of any interviewee.

Many interviewers will ask some mundane questions at the interview start, to get you talking and relaxing.
Many job applicants will answer these questions with a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ answer, without realizing that they are missing out on a chance to influence the interviewer. This isn’t a closed question and shouldn’t be answered with a one-word reply.
A common opening question is “how are you feeling?” most applicants will say “a little nervous..” but to influence the interview you can edit the example answer below to make it relevant to your own experience and job sector
What is different about the answer below is that the answer is full of hypnotic persuasion techniques to help build rapport with the employer.
“I feel really excited about being here today, I don’t know if you want to recruit someone like me with a qualification in X or experience in Y, but you will want to hire someone with my enthusiasm as I am often told by previous bosses “that I’m a dedicated worker who go’s above and beyond the call of duty” for me, I don’t see what I do as going above and beyond I just enjoy what I do and I want to use my enthusiasm and experience to collaborate with success with you and your team”
If you can’t see the hypnotic patterns then you will want to buy the influencing the interview book from Amazon today. For now I have highlighted a few of the hypnotic patterns below.
I haven’t got the time to explain which pattern is what or how to use your voice to package the hypnotic commands, but the book – influencing the interview will explain everything you need to know.
