S ome of the usual suspects appear for their unwavering support in helping me get this book off the ground. Just because you are constantly supportive, I hope I never take any of you for granted.
Whendie, without you, the work you have done with your clients, the discussions and support you have given me over the years, this book could not have been written. I am one of the growing number that see the great contributions you make to peoples lives.
Sharon, Dave, John, you know who you really are; thanks for letting me tell your stories and illustrate the examples. Without your astounding successes in the job hunt there would have been no book to write.
Dave, thank you for your technical wizardry. I suspect this book would have been faster without the long lunches, practicing patterns and visits to the cinema, but I would choose fun over speed any day long may it continue.
Mum and Dad, you were excited about a book even when you didnt know what it was going to be about.
Joe Gregory, my publisher, you have been a constant source of inspiration, ideas and support. Your experience has helped my writing to reach an audience. We must meet in person sometime.
The numerous people who bought the original system, your feedback, success stories and support have given me the inspiration to write this book.
The NLP Community, some of whom I have never met, have made this book possible. Richard Bandler and John Grinder who started this NLP thing; David Shephard, my original NLP trainer; Mina McGuigan and NLP 96 have kept the spirit of NLP alive in Glasgow since 1996. Without you this book could not have even been conceived.
And finally all the recruiters, companies and organisations who have allowed me to research, test and play from both sides of the fence. Without you guys I could not have come up with this system. I hope it pays you back by getting you people who can really do you a service.
Dear Reader,
I want you to succeed. The book you are holding is the distillation of over fifteen years of work and I want to be as certain as possible that it will work for you as it has for the hundreds of people who have already been through the Job Hunting System.
To this end I have put together a couple of unique bonuses that you can use to help you get the job that you deserve.
Firstly, there is the CV template that we discuss in this book. You can download this as a Word document from my website completely free. All you need to do is fill in your details as explained later in the book and your hypnotically persuasive CV/rsum will be ready to work for you.
Secondly, you can download a free report that details over 500 interview questions including the most commonly asked and the most difficult to answer. When you learn the hypnotic answer formula later in this book you can test yourself against these questions and notice just how easy they are to answer.
To get these bonus downloads just go to

and follow the onscreen instructions.
A pplying the system in this book will dramatically increase your chances of getting any job that you apply for. Will you get every job you apply for? No, there are too many variables to be able to guarantee that. But if you apply the system every time, you have a greater chance of success and you will eventually get what you want. With some perseverance and the methodology from this book you will get the job you are looking for.
Over the years that I have been training people in this methodology I have noticed that something interesting happen to the people that really take it on board. They become liberated from the ratrace and daily grind of their jobs. Consider this: if you knew you could go out and get a new job any time you wanted, how would your view of the world change?
I have noticed people using this system become more self-confident, happier and more satisfied at work. Think about it for a moment: if the only reason you were at your place of work was because you wanted to be there, wouldnt you make more of your job?
Here are some of the incredible successes I have been privileged to have witnessed firsthand:
Sharon, by applying the system twice in less than a year, went from a problematic and hated job to doubling her salary and working in an international management role that she loves.
Frank making a complete career change from insurance salesman to storyboard artist with no art experience except for the fact he like to draw and had a portfolio.
Dave going for a job where he was four years younger than the average employee, had no experience and was up against heavy competition in a traditional, risk adverse industry.
Trevor, long-term unemployed, going for a management role and being offered the job even before he had managed to walk into the interview.
Maybe less dramatically, I have seen senior managers who were constantly passed over for promotion, get back on the career ladder. I have seen mothers returning to work after a career break to better jobs than they had left. I have seen ex-convicts land good jobs even after a prison sentence.
In all these cases the common denominator has been they have all applied the system. Not all results are the same and you may not get exactly the same outcomes as the people mentioned above. What I can say is that, as was the case for all of them, applying the system will get you better results than not applying the system. Taking these ideas to heart will change you from a wage slave to being in total charge of your career.
Fifteen years ago I was privileged to be working with a team that was investigating interview techniques. We were looking for what worked and what didnt. I wanted to find out what worked in a live environment so I set about applying for all sorts of jobs using fake CVs (please note: this was research, not job hunting. In a job hunting scenario I suggest you always present the truth in the best possible light. Anything else is criminal).
I quickly found out what worked for CVs and in interview.
On one memorable occasion I was offered a 60,000 job after I had told them I had lied on the CV (they caught me out on the technical aspects of the job) and I did not have any of the relevant experience or qualifications they asked for. That is how powerful this system, properly applied, can be.
