1. The One
Skill Most New Graduates Don’t Have… And It’s The One Necessary To Get
Hired: An Introduction To
Interviewing
|
|
A lot of time and prep work goes into
getting your degree: studying, memorizing, selecting classes, and
getting the grades. Then, you graduate and realize no one has prepared
you for the one thing that’ll get you hired – your first big interview.
That’s where this next section on interviewing comes in. This section
will make sure you know exactly how to prepare ahead of time, so nothing
is left to chance – from what to say and how to say it to exactly what
to wear. And in this introduction, you’ll hear all about it.
You’ll also hear...
-
A little-known fact: Every
interaction you have with people will end in one of three ways –
what those ways are and what your goal should always be
-
How to use this interviewing
section the right way – if you do, you’ll have skills the other
applicants won’t have, and you’ll be the one walking away with the
job
When you go into an interview, remember
they’ve already accepted your grades, resume, and experience. You’re at
the same level as every other applicant. The only thing you need to do
to get the job at that point is out-interview them. And in this section
on interviewing, you’ll hear exactly how to do that.

2. The One Thing That
Matters Most in An Interview: Attitude
|
|
When a company is interviewing, they’re not looking for
someone who already knows everything. They know they have to train “the
new guy.” They’re looking for someone who will fit in and have a good
attitude. And in this audio, you’ll hear examples of what that means and
how to show it in a job interview.
You'll also hear...
-
The pure magic way it all comes
down to MOOMBA again (my only obstacle may be attitude), and how to
make sure that’s never your obstacle
-
A quick look at the interviews
Southwest Airlines ran when they were hiring for pilots, and the
surprising reason they weeded applicants out
-
The vital importance of having
“emotional range” in an interview – what that means and examples of
it
Companies hire for attitude and train
for skills. When you go in for a job interview, you’re pretty much on
the same level as all the other applicants. That’s why it’s so important
to stand out, in a good way. Attitude is your first step. And in this
audio, you’ll hear all about it.

3. Why Someone Else Got The Job And You Didn’t
|
|
The first few minutes of any
interview are basically the same. The person interviewing you will
decide in those minutes whether or not they like you. Clear and simple.
The remaining time is spent confirming that decision. If they like you,
they look for reasons why they like you. If they don’t, they look for
reasons to confirm that.
Rob says his job is to make sure when you leave your interview, the
interviewer says, “Wow. That person was great.” But in order to get
there, it’s important to look at the reasons people don’t get hired. And
in this quick audio, you’ll hear all about the recent survey that tells
you exactly that.
You'll also hear...
-
The top 6 reasons people don’t get
hired, and how easy it is to take control of all six of them
-
A shocking look at the basic
mistake 40% of applicants in the survey made – and were eliminated
immediately from the process
-
The demystifying truth about
attitude, and where it fits into the survey
-
For a 45-minute interview, you can
expect the first 5-10 minutes to be spent determining whether or not
they like you.
-
And in this audio, you’ll hear all
the ways you can make sure you’re not eliminated during that time.

The One Thing You Should Never Do in An Interview
(Be Late)
You might as well
wear a shirt that says, "I’m incompetent" |
|
When it comes to
interviewing, you have to start off strong, and that means as soon as
you walk through the doors. Plan to check in exactly 15 minutes before
your interview. If you get there any earlier, that’s great. But wait in
the parking lot until exactly 15 minutes before your interview. And in
this quick audio, you’ll hear the importance of this time frame, along
with two stories that illustrate how being on time can instantly make or
break an interview.
You’ll also hear…
-
A little story about an
acting major who blew his big chance that illustrates the vital
importance of being on time for even the smallest of details
-
The crazy lengths one
kid went through to make sure he was on time for his interview – and
what happened next that might have you rethinking your own
dedication
Rob says he still feels
stressed when he has to go in for any kind of interview or speaking
engagement, so he always arrives early to get comfortable. Walking
through the door 15 minutes early not only helps you calm down and
prepare, but it’s also the time the office expects you to check in. And
in this audio, you’ll hear all about how important it is.

5. How To Dress For An
Interview |
|
When it comes to picking out
what to wear for your interview, remember one thing: how you dress shows
respect for the company. That’s why sloppy, unshaven, or even dressing
casually instantly puts you in a different light than your competition.
But Rob says you can never go wrong with a suit. And in this audio,
you’ll hear why, along with all the other things you should make sure
you pay attention to when it comes to appearance.
You’ll also hear…
-
The psychological “almost sneaky” way wearing
something nice “hypnotizes” the interviewer into liking you more
-
A quick checklist of the dos and don’ts of what
to wear (from jewelry and aftershave to shoes)
Rob says even if it’s casual Friday when you go into
interview, it’s not casual Friday for you. They are looking for reasons
to weed applicants out of the process, so don’t let something easy, like
a wrinkled shirt or a pair of jeans, be that reason. And in this audio,
you’ll hear the tips and tricks that will make sure that doesn’t happen
to you.

6. A Little-Known Fact About
Interviews:
Every First Impression
Counts |
|
As soon as you walk through the
doors of the office, your interview process begins, but it doesn’t just
begin with the person you’re meeting for the interview. It includes
everyone you meet in that building along the way. From the janitors to
the secretaries, if you come in contact with them, make sure it’s a good
one. And in this quick audio, you’ll hear exactly why that’s so
important and some simple things to keep in mind so you always make a
good impression.
You’ll also hear…
Your interview is not just about skills. It’s
about how you’ll fit in with a company. And you never know when the boss
might come back to someone you’ve met along the way to ask what they
thought of you. So in this quick audio, you’ll hear all about how
something as simple as being nice can give you an edge.

7. Simple Steps For
Dealing With Anxiety In An Interview:
(Being Nervous Is Actually A Good Thing)
|
|
When it comes to
interviewing, it’s okay to be nervous. They expect it. In fact, it’s
really only inappropriate to try to be "cool." You don’t want to come
across as totally confident, like you’d be doing them the favor if they
hired you. You want to come across as humble. So being nervous can be a
natural way of showing that you care and are taking the job interview
seriously. And in this quick audio, you’ll hear all about how to quit
being nervous about being nervous.
You’ll also hear…

The one thing you can
do to take the sting out of anxiety fast (if you find you’re just
too nervous or overwhelmed to go on)
Rob says no matter how
nervous you feel, don’t mention it in your interview. They already know
most applicants are nervous, and mentioning it probably won’t make you
feel any better. But there are some things you can do, and in this
audio, you’ll hear all about them.

8. An (Almost Sneaky) Psychological Technique That Will Create
Instant Rapport In An Interview |
|
As a professor, Rob notices
that the students he has the most rapport with will subconsciously mimic
his behavior in class. If he folds his arms or leans back, they will
too. It’s just human nature to copy the mannerisms of the people you
feel a good connection to. But, you can also do this mechanically during
an interview to create instant rapport, and in this audio, you’ll hear
how.
You’ll also hear…
-
Examples of how to do
this the right way so you don’t turn your interview into a game of

9. A Quick Trick for
Maintaining Proper Eye Contact |

that mean? And how do you do it without looking like you’re staring? In
this quick audio, you’ll hear a trick that will help you relax and
maintain "proper eye contact," and the best part it is -- you can use it
in all your interactions, and no one will ever know. They’ll just think
you’re a good listener.
You’ll also hear…
When you’re feeling
nervous, eye contact is one area that can go wrong quickly. But it won’t
if you follow this technique. The interviewer will feel like you’re
naturally paying attention. And in this audio, you’ll hear how.

10. The Two Things To
Remember When Answering Interview Questions
|
|
It can be pretty easy to

realize you’re rambling on. That’s why it’s a good idea to remember
these two things: answer their questions in a comment not a speech, and
always be positive. And in this audio, you’ll hear the power of both of
those things, along with how to do them.

11. The 4 Biggest Mistakes
You Can Make In An Interview
|
|
Rob knows a college kid who
answered an ad in the paper one summer, only to have the receptionist
say, "Don’t bother. We’ve got wall-to-wall applicants and the boss is
only hiring a few…" The kid hung up then started to think of a plan. He
called back, got the address, and got the job – even though the place
was packed and his chances weren’t good.
And in this audio, you’ll
hear exactly what he did to stand out. And what he didn’t do. Rob says
when it comes to interviewing, there are four big mistakes you want to
avoid. And in this audio, you’ll hear all about them and the ways to
stand out that actually work.
You’ll also hear…

Exploding one of the
biggest myths in interviewing: the interview examples and stories
you use have to be drawn from personal experience. (This can

speaking in a professional manner – and how to do it

All about the one
biggest mistake you can make in an interview (not doing your
homework about the company) and real-life examples of how to do this

without sounding like a kiss-up

interviewing, the bottom line is – people want to hire people who are
most like them. And in this audio, you’ll hear how avoiding the four
biggest mistakes will help you do that.

12. How To Be The Person
They Expect You To Be |
|
We’ve all heard the saying, “Be
yourself.” This does not apply to a job interview. Interviewing is not
the time to say, “Well, I don’t really like wearing a suit” or “I’m not
really the type of person who makes eye contact or smiles a lot…”
This is the time to be who they
expect you to be. And in this audio, you’ll hear why that’s so
important, what they generally expect, and how to fake it without
seeming fake.

then it’s okay to be yourself. But in an interview, you need to give

13. The Red Flags Every Interviewer Looks For And How To Avoid Them |
|
Remember, during an
interview, the interviewer isn’t looking for reasons why you’re so
great. They’re looking for red flags so they can eliminate you from the
competition. And while you already know how to make sure you don’t get
eliminated for something silly like showing up late in shorts and flip
flops, there are certain things you should never discuss or do in an
interview. And in this audio, you’ll hear the top red flags and taboo
subjects interviewers look for and how to avoid them.
This is the time to
be who they expect you to be. And in this audio, you’ll hear why that’s
so important, what they generally expect, and how to fake it without
seeming fake.

The interview
process is usually a process of elimination, so don’t get eliminated for
something you can control like what you say or how you say it. And in
this audio, you’ll hear the red flags they’ll be looking for so that
doesn’t happen.

14. Ice Breakers And Casual
Conversation: What To Say And What To Avoid
|
|
Rob was once called in for
an interview with a magazine in New York where he was let into the
office early because the woman he was interviewing with was busy. While
waiting, he noticed a bunch of pictures of the woman with her dad –
hiking, fishing, having fun. And Rob thought, "How sweet. I’m going to
comment on those in the interview." So early on in the conversation, Rob
says, "Your dad’s in amazing shape for his age." The woman replied,
"That’s not my dad. That’s my boyfriend."
Needless to say, Rob didn’t
get the job. There are do’s and don’ts when it comes to the casual
conversations you make during a job interview. And in this section,
you’ll hear all about them.
You’ll also hear…
-
Does the interviewer really want you to comment
on the stuff in their office – like a huge mounted fish or their
bowling trophies? And if so, what’s the best way to do it
It’s important to
differentiate yourself in a job interview, and casual conversation is a
great way to do that, but like Rob’s example, it can also turn on you if
you’re not careful. And in this audio, you’ll hear tips for how to do it
the right way.
|
|
15. How To Answer Interview Questions |
|
As soon as you sit down to
an interview, one of the first things you’ll probably hear is, "So, tell
me something about yourself." A lot of people think that means you need
to give a quick biography or a rundown of the resume you sent. It
actually means different things for different interviewers, so it’s
always a good idea to just ask. "What specifically would you like to
know?" If they leave it up to you to answer then start with the high
school or college you went to.
And in this audio, you’ll
hear more about the questions interviewers ask, and the specifics on how
to answer them.
You’ll also hear…
Rob says how you answer
questions is the most important part of interviewing because it’s going
to show what kind of person you are. But that doesn’t mean the
interviewer needs to know everything about you. And in this audio,
you’ll hear what to include, what not to include, and how to answer the
right way.

16. How To Answer The Big Three Ending Questions:
Why Should
We Hire You? Do You Have Any Questions For Us? Is There Anything Else
You Want Us To Know?
|
|
Somewhere toward the end of the
interview, there are three “big questions” you’re likely to hear. Many
people think of them as the unimportant “wrap-up” questions. Don’t make
that mistake. It’s important to end on the best note possible, so have
something prepared. And in this audio, you’ll hear specific examples of
how to tackle those questions so you can do that.
You’ll also
hear…
-
The vital importance of
having “an ace in the hole” story – what that means and examples of
it
-
Why you should absolutely
never say “no” when asked if you have any questions for the
interviewer – and the one question you can almost always throw in
there before anything else
-
The fastest known way to
blow an interview (winging it) – and how to make sure you’re as
prepared as possible
Interviews are pretty much the same. There are
certain questions that come up time and time again, so there’s no excuse
not to be ready for them, or hope that “maybe they won’t ask that.” They
will. Start strong and end stronger. And in this audio, you’ll hear the
answers that will help you do that.

|
17. The One Thing You Should Never Do in An Interview: Make The Company
Feel “Lesser” |
|
At some point in the interview
process, you might be taken on a tour of the company, and you might not
be impressed with everything you see. The offices could seem small, or
the equipment might be out of date. No matter what they show you or how
small the company is, never make them feel “lesser” about it. They want
to hire a person who likes their company, not someone who seems to be
putting them down. And in this audio, you’ll hear all about how
important this is and the one thing to remember that will make sure you
never do it.
You’ll also hear…
There will be up-and-coming companies, small
businesses, and small universities, but you never want to mention how
small they are to them. And in this audio, you’ll hear how to make sure
you never do.
|
|
18. The Secret To Group Interviews |
|
Sometimes, you might be
asked to do a group interview, meaning you’ll be interviewed in the same
room with 4-5 other people in front of a committee. This can be
especially stressful because you and your competition will be competing
right in front of each other, side by side. But Rob says, the trick to
winning this kind of competition is not to treat it like a competition.
Instead, look at it like a
comedy club where you’re following a very funny comic. The audience
already loves that guy, so putting him down isn’t going to win you any
points. Compliment other people’s answers before you begin yours. In
other words, pretend you’re not in a competitive situation and you’re
happy everyone is doing well. It sounds counterintuitive, but in this
audio, you’ll hear exactly how it’s done.
You’ll also hear…
-
A word-for-word way to
smoothly compliment a competitor's answer while you seque into you
own response
-
The only times you'll
likely see group interviews
-
The only thing you'll
never want to do after an applicant answers their question -- and
other key strategies for looking like a team player
Even though everyone knows
it’s a competition, the goal in a group interview is to show you’re a
team player who likes to see others do well too. And in this audio,
you’ll hear how to do that, even when you’re not really feeling it.

19. Yes, You Still Send a Thank-You Note After The Interview: Here’s Why
|
|
Everyone has heard the advice to
send a regular snail-mail thank-you card after an interview, but
nowadays, it seems a little old-fashioned or contrived. They know you’re
kissing up. You know it. But here’s the thing -- you still do it. And in
this audio, you’ll hear why this little gesture is so important, and how
to do it right.
You’ll also hear…
-
The easiest way to get
this done: It won’t take long if you follow Rob’s advice, plus the
interview will still be fresh in your mind
-
A little story that illustrates how this
gesture looks from the point of view of the interviewer (Rob has sat
on a lot of interview committees) and how it can set you apart from
the other applicants
Rob says if you promise yourself you’ll send a
thank-you card after an interview, it will never hurt you. In fact, it
will likely set you apart from the rest because not everyone does it
anymore. And in this section, you’ll hear all about it.

20. The Single Most Important Thing To Do Before An Interview and How To
Do It
|
|
A short, one-hour job interview
could change your life. That’s why it’s so important to be prepared for
it. Rob says it’s a lot like acting. Actors know their lines forwards
and backwards so that when it comes time to say them, everything comes
out naturally like it’s the first time they’re saying them. They
research, prepare, and over-prepare for a performance that doesn’t seem
to last long. That’s the kind of practicing you need to shoot for, no
matter how good you are at winging it.
The goal is to make the
interview feel like a big conversation – so don’t forget to include the
interviewer. Check in and ask questions during the conversation. And in
this section, you’ll hear how to do that along with examples of the kind
of prep-work and practice to aim f
You’ll also hear…
-
The single best way to
practice for your next interview – and the weird (but effective) way
Rob used his classroom to help a particularly nervous student
prepare for an upcoming interview
-
One of life’s most
powerful equations you should keep in mind while you practice that
will help you stay grounded and on track during the entire process
-
Why you won’t believe
how college basketball coach Eric Musselman went from long-shot at
his interview with the University of Reno to easily landing the job:
he blew them away with his prep-work. Here’s what to take from his
story
-
A harsh fact: even if
you do all this work and you’re the best person for the job, you
might not always get it – here are the “political” reasons why that
happens
-
The scary side of
shooting for “perfection” and concrete examples of the kind of
prep-work to aim for instead
When you’re called in for an
interview, it usually means they’ve accepted you on many levels – you’re
halfway there and you’ve got a shot. You just have to make sure no one
out-interviews you. But if you listen and re-listen to this interview
section and follow Rob’s advice, that won’t happen. And in this audio,
you’ll hear everything you need to help you get there.

Rob Gilbert professor, publisher, author
WHO’S DR. GILBERT AND WHY SHOULD YOUR LISTEN
TO HIM?
Dr. Rob
Gilbert is one of the world’s leading experts on Sport
Psychology. As a professor at Montclair State University, he teaches
Sports Psychology and also researches athletic motivation and teamwork,
studies that have helped literally thousands of athletes defeat their
mental problems. He has studied the mental skills of not only the
world’s greatest athletes, but also the most successful
business
executives and highest-earning sales people.
In the intensely competitive world of athletics, he finds that
"it’s minds, not muscles, that win games, and I mentally
coach
athletes how to become winners,” says Dr. Gilbert.
Specifically,
he trains athletes how to overcome choking, slumps, lack of
self-confidence and various other mental problems by using the powerful
mental techniques from the field of Sports Psychology.
Now the Director of the Center for Sports Success, he has given over
2,000 speeches and seminars around the country on his unique peak
performance methods. However, he is not limited to speaking to athletes
and coaches. Business, educational, and medical groups invite him to
address their meetings because they know that the same mental skills
that make people winners on the athletic field are just as effective in
the boardroom, the classroom or any other arena where people work to
achieve success.
Dr. Gilbert motivates tens of thousands of people around the world on a
daily basis through both his Success Hotline and his on-line Success
Newsletter. He is the former editor of Bits and Pieces Magazine. As a
professional speaker, he has addressed audiences as diverse as the
cadets at the United States Military Academy to Fortune 500 executives.
He has joined A Vision in Motion as the resident speaking coach and
trainer, with the goal of helping all speakers reach their full
potential. This is something that Dr. Gilbert has done with much
success over the past 25 years.
