Introducing Instant Interviews!

Twenty-five years ago, I jumped up in the jobjungle, swung from the nearest tree, and Tarzanned.

Ive spent my entire career in the job placement field, and it all comes down to this:

1. The interview is almost all that counts

2. The interview is a highly predictable, controllable event, with only the places and the faces changing

Those were the first words in my first book, How to Turn an Interview into a Job. They rumbled in the jungle like a herd of charging bull elephants. The books flew off the shelves as they still do today.

In following the pages that followed those words, jobseekers became lifetime jobgetters. These days they generate job offers whenever they interview. Bigger and better job offers.

Their success was limited only by the global climate change over a quarter century. The underbrush grew above the height of the hunter. The traditional terrainclassifieds, job fairs, then the Internetbecome nothing more than a mirage.

These passive ways of looking for a job or finding a job did nothing to generate an interview. Any successful recruiter will tell you theyre virtually useless for a jobseeker today. Only active jobgetting skills work for the professionalsand only those skills will work for you.

Thats why I wrote Instant Interviews. The law of the jungle didnt change: Survival of the fittest. The law of hiring didnt change either: No interview, no job.

Right now, youre probably all dressed up in your jeweled jungle jacket with no place to go. Ready for a searchin safari. Mangled machete in one hand, rusty resume in the other. Thrashing around through the hidden job market looking for the career path. Mumblin, stumblin, and fumblin. Passively missing everything below your binoculars. Living that old saying, You cant see the forest for the trees. Getting tired long before you get hired.

The best-kept secret among the natives is that the candidates are hiding, not the jobs! Every day, I watch the braver ones from my treehouseoffice, wandering around in the marshes blindfolded.

So, before we begin using techniques, lets get rid of those subconscious spears.

Scan the Instant Interview titles (Dos) in the Contents (you will anyway). Then, take a piece of paper and a pen. Scribble down a list of the first 10 reasons that pop into your mind why you cant, wont, shouldnt, or would get arrested for doing them. Nothing fancy, and do it fast. We want to catch those first (hence the word instant) excuses.

When youre done, walk over to the first mirror you see. Then look at yourself tearing up the list. Throw it away and dont even keep a copy. Tell nobody. Your secrets safe with me.
