Tracking down and landing your new dream job is easier than ever using online resources such as Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram and other social media.
No employer will ever come knocking on your door and say, “I was just walking through your neighborhood and a gut feeling told me that you are the person I have been looking for my entire life. Let me offer you your new dream job.”
First, you will need to prepare yourself with qualifications and experience.
The Internet can work for you and against you when applying for your new dream job.  Check your social media and remove any posts that could hurt your reputation. Google search your own name (as your new employer may do as part of their selection process) to see what might be floating around in cyber space that you do not know about. Are there other social media posts or web sites that say something or show photos that you do not want your potential employer looking into? They used to say do not mention religion, politics or relationships (sex). Today social media is full of it. Does any of it refer to you and could be embarrassing or even damaging to your reputation. Search your name under photos and videos too. You never know what might be out there in cyber space until you search. Be prepared to ‘take it down’, if you can, or request someone to do it for you. Otherwise, be prepared to explain it during your job interview if they ask.

Normally you need to identify your new dream job, or a job that will lead to it, create a custom CV, and cover letter that will ensure your best chance of an interview, then when you are happy with it submit.  If possible, avoid phoning or emailing on a Friday or Monday.  (On Friday their minds are on the weekend not you, on Monday they are unhappy to be back at work and they have a backlog of work they did not do on Friday. So, your application will not appeal to them no matter how good you think it is). Mid-week is better because they are in the swing of it.

You may be suffering from job search anxiety, a very real phenomenon where you may be feeling a lot of self-doubt, and fear of failure, hopeless or even rejected. 

At Internet Hypnosis dot Shop we can help you with that.

Winning your new dream job is about having the right positive attitude and approach. Employers are looking for the applicant who has;

• Your CV must ‘stand-out’ from the crowd, and demonstrate your unique skill set, acumen, background, confidence, and passion that your employer is seeking, without being overbearing or intense.
• Never never invent qualifications, experience and referees. Keep it real.
• Researchers tell us the ideal CV is one page, however you must list all relevant qualifications and experience so do not leave them out.
• Studies indicate they spend as little as 8 seconds looking at your CV, so use bullet points and an easy-to-read layout.
• Obviously, spell check your CV and get someone to proofread it for logic and grammar errors.
• A study at Wichita State University found that people associate Times New Roman and Arial with stability, while Courier New and Georgia represent maturity.
• Keep your CV succinct. Use short sentences. Word perfect. Avoid rambling. Include a brief personal summary to sell your skills and achievements. Use real examples, that can be backed up, to impress your potential employer.
• All the jobs you have listed on your CV need accurate dates. Avoid leaving any unexplained gaps.
• Tailor your application to your dream job. Give your potential new employers a little introduction to your personality.  
• They are looking for the person who shares their corporate values, vision, and ethos. Do your own due diligence and demonstrate to them through your application, personal web site, social media, and CV that you are that person.
• Be aware they will look at your professional and personal social media activity, so clean it up now. Remove any and all political, religious, aggressive, or disrespectful posts. See https://www.scrubber.social.
• Some recruitment experts advise including your social media links as a way to add another layer of depth to your application.
• Deliver a custom CV and personalized application letter to every prospective employer. DO NOT copy and paste applications from one to another, unless you are not interested in being awarded the job.
• Think about the file name on your CV. Demonstrate that you are detail-orientated enough to have given the file a professional-looking name.
• The email account you send your CV from should be your name, not <fluffy.duck69> or worse.
• Never ask about renumeration in your first interview. Let them whittle down applicants until you are in the final few. Then ask.
• When you get to the final interview have your CV printed in colour on quality paper in a professional folder to leave with them.
• Highlight your achievements – not job descriptions. They want to hear about your outstanding awards, promotions, sales figures, and targets won.
• Research the business as much as they will research you,. Speak their language – use their industry jargon and terminologies back at them. Make them feel that you are already one of the team.
• When you are given the opportunity to ask questions stay away from the stock standard questions everyone has already asked them that day. If you go down that well-trodden path, you will soon be lost forever in their eyes.
• Be ready to ask probing questions about what they talked about – dig deeper.
• Or stand out from the crowd by asking questions based on their listed responsibilities for the position you are being interviewed for. If possible, an area you feel you are interested in and perhaps experienced in – so they can recognise your interest and potential value.
• When asked if you have any questions, you are being given a ‘golden’ opportunity to show that you are the ideal person for the job.  Truth is, you may already know the answers, but you are demonstrating your superior suitability over other applicants.
• When they are assessing all the applicants, they interviewed you want them to be talking about you, and how impressed they were with your intelligent, relevant question.
• It is normal to feel anxious before your interview. Yet, it is better to also feel quietly confident (not ‘cocky’).
• Listen to the ‘Welcome Your Dream Job’ MP3 every day, to develop your focus, confidence, and ‘ownership’ of your new dream job.
• More jobs are awarded to people through word-of-mouth, so networking is very, very important.

Synonyms for the words new job include; profession and vocation and employment or job. Also livelihood or position, some say ‘what you do?’ Of course career and career trajectory or career advancement. Maybe professional advancement or 5-year plan or 10-year plan and course. study or  orbit or function or role or position or post or assignment or contract, or  contractor or business or duty or task or gig and posting. 

Many years ago I had a young woman come to me, so she must have realized something was wrong. She told me she wanted a position as a women’s clothing boutique manager. I asked her what position she was already working in the fashion industry. She said “I have never worked in the industry. I do not have a job. I have never had a job since leaving school.”

“Alright. It is good to have a plan of action. First you need to get in the door. Perhaps as a sales assistant. Learn the job and strive to be the best you can.”

“No. I wont do that.” She said. “I want to be the boss. I want to be the manager – not a sales assistant. I wont do that.”

“Hmmm … are you saying you want someone who owns a boutique to give you a managerial position from day one, with no experience at all?” I asked.

“Yes, of course,” she replied with indignation.

“So, what makes you think someone should risk their business in your hands?” I asked.

“My father told me I am a gift to anyone. If I want it, I can have it. I want to be a manager of a fashion boutique. So I want you to hypnotize me so I can get my dream job.”

“I see. is your father in the fashion business?” I asked and then added. “It can certainly help if you know the right people.”

“My father knows nothing about fashion. He is a plumber.”

The young lady had listened to her loving father repeat statements based more in love for his daughter than real world fact. She actually believed him.

As a young plumbers apprentice he would have worked for years with minimal pay to learn the job from the ground up. He would have attended trade school to learn the more technical aspects of his chosen career. For him it was a planned strategy of preparation to eventually become a fully qualified and licensed plumber.

He demonstrated his passion for the job over a period of years. He had the emotions and the self talk to keep going and work his plan.  Through experience he developed the professional skills and knowledge.

Truth is he had done her a misdeed by incorrectly telling her she could do anything she wanted without working for it. Without education or experience.

I could have taken her money by doing as she wanted, by hypnotizing her to believe fashion boutique owners would give her a managerial position, without any experience in the industry. However, she already believed that just because her father had told her she could do anything.

Instead, I advised her to go get a job as a junior sales assistant (in any retail outlet that would employ her) before she got any older, and gain experience, and make valuable networking contacts. Therefore, working her way up toward her goal in achievable steps, just as her father had done as an apprentice plumber.

She was unhappy with what I had to tell her, although it was true. I guess, in time she would realise I gave her good, truthful advice. Perhaps she was aware I believe in ‘manifesting’ however I am pragmatic too.

No boutique owner would ever come knocking on her door and say, “I was just walking through your neighborhood and a gut feeling told me that you are the person I have been looking for my entire life. Let me offer you your new dream job as manager of my boutique.”

This is how it happens when you manifest your new dream job. A true story.

When I was aged 22 I worked on the front desk of one of the top international hotels in Melbourne. I was the young man in a formal suit who greeted people as they came to reception. In the job I met many world-famous celebrities and had a few embarrassing ‘incidents’ such as a Hollywood movie star making a sexual pass at me when we were alone in the elevator. But the truth is, I was painfully unhappy in my job because my immediate boss disliked me and made my job a living hell. I wanted out.

At the same time I was a volunteer in a government sponsored rescue service. One of their headquarters staff was transferring to the police force and his position was becoming vacant, so I decided to apply for my dream job.

I had already attended relevant courses and already had a very good reputation in the headquarters, so I was confident. My job interview went well – I knew the two interviewers. I felt my dream job was mine.

However, as the weeks went by following my interview, I heard nothing. There was not a hint from the interviewers although I saw them from time to time. I put that down to their professionalism.

I remained confident and expectant I would win my new dream job. I constantly energised my new dream job with positive expectation. I never once had any doubt. (Interest and enthusiasm in my job at the hotel had died.  Energetically I had already left the room).

Suddenly, from out of the blue I got the phone call. “Are you available and when can you start?” “Monday” I enthusiastically replied.

Apparently, they had awarded the job to someone else. But somehow it did not work out. I was second on the list, so I got the call. I was confident my dream job was mine all along, and it was.

I felt absolutely elated when I submitted my resignation from the hotel. I was vindicated because my immediate boss, who had relied on me to ‘carry him through’ was suddenly faced with doing his job without my support. 

‘Swim faster or sink’ I said as I walked out the door for the last time.

I had the great advantage of knowing the organisation from the inside, and the people who would make the eventual hiring decision. Of course, you likely will not have that advantage.

How To Be Number One in Poll Position

However, there is a little-known method for winning an advantage over other applicants.

Get known by the recruiter or a hiring manager BEFORE you submit your application, perhaps even before the job is advertised.

Recruiters will often take the easy pathway by looking at suitable applicants they already have on their books before they go to the next step and advertise. You can potentially put yourself in front of their minds when recommending applicants for an interview to the employer. 

If you have a company or companies in mind as your target employer call and ask who does their job recruitment. But first check out their web site, the information may be there already (usually way down at the bottom of the title page in tiny font size).

Put together your CV and a cover letter and submit it early (but not on a Friday or Monday) so it is in the system, on their desk, before the job vacancy is handed to them to fill. Bye-the-way, offer to be available on the phone for a chat or to come in for a face-to-face meeting. Chatting on the phone or meeting makes a hell of a difference. I did not tell you this, however some people actually arrange a ‘chance meeting’ with the recruiter in a social situation. (In the NLP world they say some people need contact up to 6 times before they feel comfortable. But do not overdo it). You can help to make their job easier and beat the other potential applicants.

It is as if you are racing in Formular One, and you are in poll position, way ahead of the pack.

If possible, do as I did and get known by the people on the ground, inside the company or organisation.

Do you know people, perhaps people with some influence or inside knowledge, inside the company or organisation? How can you get to know them and make a good impression, perhaps through their social, hobby or sporting interests? The smartest applicants are always building relevant networks.

It has the potential to short-circuit hundreds of disappointing job applications that seem to evaporate before your very own eyes.

Your New Dream Job Strategy

Here is a giveaway technique for dramatically improving your chances of winning your ideal job at the next interview. I assume you are suitably qualified and experienced for the position, and just want to put yourself at the top of the list in your potential new employer’s mind.

It is hypnotic influencing method and goes like this;

1. On the day of the interview wear appropriate clothes for the position you seek. It is usually better to over dress rather than under dress.
2. As you make the usual pleasantries with the interviewing employer practice ‘matching and mirroring’ without making it too obvious.
3. Speak at the same (or similar) pace as the interviewer. Reflect how they speak back to them in a way that will make them feel comfortable about you. If they speak quickly, then so should you. On the other hand, if they speak slowly you should slow it down to their pace. Let them feel that you are much the same as you in many different ways. If they speak softly, do the same.
4. Before the employer gets started on their own questions ask them:                          “The job I’m here about today sounds …. just like me. So …. I know what is expected of me, can you run through a typical day and tell me what ….. I will be doing in more detail, and what you expect from me ….. from the ….. start of my work here?”
5. The employer wants to talk about the business and  … your role in it. So they will invariably start telling you all the things ….. you will be doing in the job throughout a typical day. Use your own body language to show your interest and encouragment. (leaning forward, arms open, a smile, a nod of understanding and friendly agreement)
6. The employer will, of course be mentally putting you ALREADY in the job, ALREADY working among the rest of the employees and company clients, etc.
7. And so, while it seems like a harmless question for the boss to answer – by answering it the employer is essentially mentally ACCEPTING and picturing (and almost selling) themselves on you actually having the job.

Later when assessing applicants, you will stand out in front of the others in the employer’s mind.

More and more interviews are taking place online.

Tips for a successful video interview.

• Have a neutral yet authentic background. Free from distractions. Avoid anything that moves, including curtains blowing in the wind.
• Wear professional attire, what you would normally wear in a face-to-face interview.
• Get your devices and programs ready well before the interview. That also means getting children and pets out of the room. No distractions.
• Use positive body language. Sit up straight, Use eye contact. Smile.
• Focus and pay attention., You should not need to ask the interviewer to repeat their questions.
• Engage with the interviewer. Show interest and be prepared to ask intelligent/relevant questions.
• Stay on topic by keeping your answers and questions concise and relevant.
• Discuss how you overcame challenges in your previous positions.
• Demonstrate how you were involved in innovative way to improve business, and how you can bring these acquired experiences and skills to this role. 
• When asked about your current or past jobs never blame or complain. Always remain positive and upbeat.
• Never gossip. They are looking for a team player.
• If asked a tricky question never reply with ‘Ummm… Arr‘ or stoney silence. Instead say ‘Good question. Let me think about that’.
• Research everything you can before the interview about the company and the position you are applying to fill.
• Let them know what can you bring to the company? How can you be of value to them?
• At the end of the interview, when asked ‘Do you have any question’s?” Be prepared with intelligent relevant questions but stay away from the usual – be unique and memorable.
• Be compelling. Be interesting. Be professional.
• If they use phrases such as ‘work hard, play hard’, ‘fast-paced environment’, or ‘must handle pressure well’ they could be red flags, unless you thrive on stress.

Artificial Intelligent (AI) Robotic Job Recruitment

A survey from Resume Builder found 4 in 10 companies use artificial intelligence (AI) to “talk with” candidates in job interviews. Of those companies, 15 per cent said hiring decisions are be made with no human input. If that is true it is scary. 

Employers who use AI systems for recruitment claim they are used to cross quotidian tasks off a recruiter’s daily schedule; AI helps weed through the top 1,000 applicants, but once they get down to the final 10, it becomes a human process.

Experts advise job applicants to act as if they are speaking to a human during AI-led interviews, although that is easier said than done. 

Ty lives in Washington DC in the USA. Following his AI lead interview he said, “It was creepy.”

Ty found himself talking to a computer-generated ‘Siri’ voice over the phone. Although it tried to pass itself off as a living, breathing human the interviewer was obviously a robot with a rather rude habit. It asked Ty all the right questions – what’s your management style? are you a good fit for this role? – but it would cut Ty off before he could answer the questions.

“After cutting me off, the AI would respond, ‘Great! Sounds good! Perfect!’ and “Let’s move on to the next question,” Ty said. “After the third or fourth question, the AI just stopped and told me that the interview was over.” 

It did not give him time to answer the questions and it did not give him any opportunity to ask the robot questions. What is worse, the robot claimed to be human, which it obviously was not. Ty found it was disturbing and an insult to his intelligence.

Adele Walton, is a 24-year-old journalist and content creator from Brighton, England. She recently sat through an on screen AI interview that felt extremely unnatural. “I expected a person or a panel,” she said.

Instead, questions flashed on the screen that showed her own face. She was given 60 seconds to answer, with a countdown clock.  “In an in-person meeting, you get more social prompts from the other person,” she said. “In this case, I was just talking to myself with no measure of how I was doing. I couldn’t read anyone’s face, body language, or see them nod yes. That type of human reassurance that you get in a real interview is completely lost when companies outsource interviews out to AI.”

Watching her own face as she answered, and the countdown clock were a total distraction which made her feel uncomfortable.

Higher-ups in the corporate world rarely apply for jobs – at a certain pay grade, they network instead. Lower-level job applicants will see more and more AI interviews.

Human Resources (HR) is the poor cousin in the corporate world. If they can cut budgets anywhere it starts in HR.  If it is perceived a robot can do the tasks of a human, and it is cheap, they will use it. 

In the future these AI robot interviewers will have access to all your online personal details. They will know more about you during your interview than almost everyone you know. So, you must be prepared for it.

If you find yourself facing an AI robot interview on the phone or the screen (perhaps one day they will be ‘face to face’ AI holographic projections). just relax and be yourself. Behave exactly as you would if it were a real human and keep your responses brief and to the point.

Sometimes face-to-face interviews with a real, breathing, human can go wrong too.

I was on a train on my to work in a clinic when I overheard a young man talking on his phone. He was apparently returning from a job interview and was very upset. about what had happened.

He had been told he would not be accepted for the position because he had visible tattoos on his neck. He could not understand how that would impact his position in sales for the company. He might have been the perfect candidate for the job, but his tattoos were a ‘No No’ as far as his potential employer was concerned.

If you have tattoos cover them up. wear long sleeves if that will hide them. Do not reveal them until you are well established and beyond any probation period in your job.

Talking about probation, if you have any criminal record – be upfront about it. They may do a search, so better you get in first. Be prepared to explain that it was a mistake in your past and you except it now as a valuable learning experience. Outline how you are repaying society by volunteering and doing community service. (If you are not, you should be) Sometimes employers will let people with a record, even jail to prove themselves – and give them the job. They will respect you for being upfront about it. Just don’t boast. Say it, reply briefly to questions, and move on.

If you did the crime and paid with time, you should be able to earn a dime.

No matter you should be volunteering in some community service as part of your Resume. If you do not know how or where to go – ask your local municipal office for directions.

Be up front and honest during your interview.

I had just completed a full season growing tobacco. Picking was a complete success; we beat the frosts. Winter was fast approaching. I did not want to spend another winter in the snow pruning grape vines. So, I applied for a job in a nearby factory where they manufactured material and dyed it and printed it for milliners.

First, I sat through timed tests to determine my recognition of colours and patterns. At my next interview I was told I had the top score among the applicants. How many applicants were there? No idea, although I know there was at least one other.

I did not tell the guy interviewing me that I had just completed a season in the tobacco fields, perhaps I should have? My ear canals were packed full of beautiful, rich, plantation soil. Then he may have realised I had not heard half the things he was saying to me. I was trying to lip read him, but I knew I had failed because of the strange facial expressions he had as I replied to what I thought he had said.

However, when I went out to the factory floor where everyone was wearing headphones and helmets with goggles – I could clearly hear them shouting at each other.

They pointed out guys in what looked like radioactive white suits with breathing apparatus inside a concrete bunker.  They explained the chemicals they used when mixed could be explosive and if directly exposed to the skin, or inhaled, could be carcinogenic. 

I quickly realised the money they paid was not worth the risk to my immediate and long-term health, so I politely refused the job.

“But you are a volunteer fireman. Surely you don’t mind at all?”

Just as well I refused because within days, I won a contract with a multinational company that paid incredible money (for hard work). I was able to buy a four-wheel drive vehicle and build a two-story house as a result.

I never picked tobacco or pruned grape vines again. Rumor mongers in the local bar said I was growing marijuana crops and that was where all my money was coming from, I laughed. If only they knew I manifested my dream job.
