Hypnotherapy for Interview Techniques

Are you looking for your dream job?

Let’s face it the job market is horrendous at the moment. If you’re lucky enough to be offered an interview for your perfect job, you are going to want to present your best possible self. When you really want a job and there’s a lot riding on it, that’s when the nerves kick in the most. Perhaps even the negative self-talk, imposter syndrome. Don’t worry, hypnotherapy can help you come across as the best possible genuine version of yourself.

You want to do your best at interview

This is where hypnotherapy can help you. Preparation is of course key, but being able to relax in the process and enjoy the interview will come across well too. Through hypnotherapy you will learn how to relax yourself.

What happens in your body if you’re stressed and nervous?

When you’re stressed, or nervous your body produces adrenalin. This goes back to when we were cave men, so we could be ready to fight or flight (run). Your hands feel sweaty, not great when you have to shake hands with the interviewer (s). You feel sick, your mouth goes dry, maybe you start to shake. Worst of all your mind goes blank.

These things are all because adrenalin causes the blood supply to focus on your largest muscles. This is to prepare you for the fight or flight. So the blood is diverted away from your digestive system, your periphery and to some degree from your brain. This stops you thinking clearly, and being able to answer questions easily.

How can hypnotherapy help?

Hypnotherapy can help you to learn how to stop the adrenalin from being produced and that which is in your blood system be broken down. All this can happen in three minutes. So when you arrive at the interview, if you start to feel the stress and anxiety kicking in, you can practice what you’ve been taught and take back control of your mind and body.

What’s hypnotherapy like?

Hypnotherapy is a very relaxing process, it’s a state you were in first thing this morning, when you were just between being asleep and awake. You’ll experience it again tonight as you drift off to sleep. Its a lovely state to be in and means your unconscious mind is able to take messages on board and store them for future use.

What will happen in the hypnotherapy session?

During the session you’ll learn and practice how to relax yourself like this will help you deal with interview anxiety. We will also go through the interview process to seek out the parts you find most stressful. This might be nervousness before the interview, your mind going blank, fear of rejection, overthinking answers, finding it uncomfortable talking about your achievements imposter syndrome, a lack of confidence. It doesn’t matter what it is, or if it’s a number of things.

Remember interviews aren’t just about the verbal communication, they are also about the way you say it and your body language. All of these can be practiced whilst hypnotised, so they become second nature.

After the session…

You can then practice allowing yourself to relax even when faced with these scenarios. Visualising the perfect interview  scenario for you – many times, will help it to be stored in your unconscious mind. This makes the scenario and your response second nature to you. Hypnotherapy puts you back in control of your interview anxiety. Thus you can focus on what you want to say and how you want it to come across.

Ready to Take the Next Step?

Hypnotherapy won’t tell you what to say, it can’t replace your research of the company or thinking of examples of when you have dealt with possible scenarios, you may be asked about. But it can help you to think clearly and remember them easily, then present them confidently.
