Subject: Re: job interview pattern.
hi
what you need to do for your job interview is use
presupposition .
a treble presupposition is apparently , unresistable .
you have to have the mindset of you have the job
already .
and use a presuppostion like this
" will you interview more people before you come back
and give me the job "
this is obviously a basic level presupposition.
heres a pattern i found online .
tell me if this works please !!!!
""You know, one of the big things I know everyone's
looking for is good rapport, and I'm looking for it
too, because while someone might look good on paper,
you WANT TO HIRE A PERSON* that can be a strong and
contributing member of the team. I mean, how nice it
is to be able to WORK WITH SOMEONE* that challenges
you, is creative, fun, dependable, and enthusiastic?
Have you ever known an employee or co-worker like
that, and really felt good working with them? As you
REMEMBER WHAT THAT WAS LIKE, NOW, isn't it good to
know how with some potential employees you just KNOW
THAT YOU AND THAT PERSON* WOULD GET ALONG GREAT? I
think when you FIND THAT SENSE OF RAPPORT AND
TRUST...NOW, WITH ME, I think that's one of the most
valuable things to find in a candidate, so that when
you FEEL THE BEGINNINGS OF A GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP
WITH SOMEONE*, and HEAR HOW WHAT THEY SAY JUST MAKES
REALLY GOOD SENSE, you might even SAY TO YOURSELF,
'Now this is someone that I'd really like to work
with,' isn't it?"
Then if they are agreeing with you and seeming
pleased, you could continue on with more, like this:
"And what's really great is how, when you FIND THE
RIGHT PERSON* for the job, it's like this window of
opportunity to succeed in what you're looking for. I'm
sure you've made at least a few great hires in the
past, or at least imagined how satisfied you'd feel
after finding the perfect candidate and bringing them
onboard. And I'll bet that after the interview, you
know, and when you THINK THE NEXT DAY ABOUT THIS
CANDIDATE*, when you were DECIDING TO HIRE THIS
PERSON*, how excited you were as you LOOK FORWARD TO
HAVING THIS PERSON IN THE COMPANY, and maybe said to
yourself, 'Wow, that's the person I need for this
position.' But what's neat, and I don't know if many
people realize this, is how after you HIRE THIS
PERSON*, that feeling of satisfaction and rapport
continues on, of course, and how sometimes six months
down the road you can be looking back on the moment
when you decide YOU WANT THIS PERSON* TO WORK FOR YOU,
still glad that you finally found the kind of job
candidate you needed. Being an interviewer like
yourself, isn't that the kind of hiring that keeps you
going? I know I stay driven by knowing that YOU CAN
HAVE A GREAT WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE RIGHT
PERSON*, and with the whole team, ideally."
(* - point to yourself)
I didn't say it exactly like that, but you get the
idea. I added the emphasis and pointing for extra use.
I just kinda blurbed out a whole bunch for you, above,
so feel free to use just pieces of it. Practice a bit
to get the feel for the flow, and REALIZE HOW MANY OF
THE PATTERNS AND TECHNIQUES HAVE THE SAME STRUCTURE,
JUST DIFFERENT TARGET EMOTIONS AND IMAGERY (heh heh,
just playing with ya). This "pattern" basically gets
them to (hopefully) remember someone they really
enjoyed working with, and then associating those
feelings with you. The generic technique of getting
someone to remember something positive that you want
them to feel about you, and then linking it to you,
can be used in many situations. And hey, if they say,
"Oh no, I've NEVER enjoyed working with anyone like
that," well, do you really want to work for a company
like that? I sure wouldn't... I'd be miserable.
Notice how I used a number of things: time distortion,
ambiguity (punctuation ambiguity? the "feel
that...now, with me" thing), past experiences, verb
tense shifts, command to think something the next day,
different modes (FEEL, HEAR, and SEE), and generally a
lot of embedded commands. Also, when you "point to
yourself," do it very casually. I haven't seen anyone
do it, but I just use a casual flip of the hand.
Also, be sure to listen for words the interviewer
leans on heavily. For example, in my field (computer
programming/consulting) I hear people say the words
"team," "object-oriented," and "excited" a lot. Makes
me want to barf, sometimes, hearing those same words
over and over and over....but anyhow, so I use those
words when talking with people who could hire me. I'm
sure your field probably has some human resources
buzzwords that you can use, too.
