HOW TO QUICKLY BUILD RAPPORT WITH THE JOB INTERVIEWER
--------------------

Who doesn’t like a good warm up? Major league baseball pitchers toss a few balls every inning before the first batter steps to the plate.

Opera singers go through their routines with some deep breathing, humming, and singing. I hear trills are also popular.

You get the idea I’m sure.

Do you warm up before you start your job interview?

Do you think about those first words that’ll pop out of your mouth right after you say, “Hi my name is name and Andy LaCivita is my career coach therefore prepare to be dazzled!”


Ha!

You need to be mentally prepared and also ready to start off on the right foot.

The best way to begin is by building some rapport with the interviewer.

Don’t worry. I won’t keep you in suspense.

Check out How to Quickly Build Rapport with the Job Interviewer and the rest of the interview will seem like a breeze.

Loving the polo swag brother. You're doing God's work keep it up!

[kalsumal]

Thank you for this tip, I rehearsed and delivered the phrase and you’re right, I was offered the job literally right away. The CEO was really impressed. I’m sure this simple tip helped land my job. Thank you again ! Good luck everyone 😄

You say: I can’t wait to ask what drew you here!
GOLD🎉

This is VERY USEFUL! I had a phone interview yesterday (before seeing this video) and it went great!
It was mostly just luck that it went well, but if I had seen this before the call, I would have had much more control over the process. You're absolutely right about the "pound for pound" value of this one.

[howardkoor]

You have lots of great ideas and insights. It is much appreciated. However, being in sales, I "interview" a lot, and I would add that sometimes the chemistry is not right, no matter how well I think I prepared for the Moment.

Hi Andy, ur boot camper here, got 2 back to back - one phone interview and next F2F lunch interview. Will use all ur teachings and wish me luck !

[daliamichail]

Can’t agree more!! Very powerful. As a matter of fact I realized how dum I am at the beginning of an interview call and how many opportunities I lost just because of this 😐

[calif]

great one. Will absolutely use it not only in job interviews but in communications in general

[rlabastida]

Amazing and very useful information Andy!!

Hey Andrew! I have watched many of your videos and brought your book. I am on my 5th interview for a director role. Your tip on building rapport from the start has worked wonders. In all of the interviews so far, I build rapport within 10 secs of them coming on the video. I have gotten a "I see we have a connection" is the response.

[brianlovelady]

I have been selected for a job in really excited about. I was told that my start date would be Dec 23. It's a new position. I still haven't received an offer but trust the process. I was told by the recruiter that the hiring manager is trying to get the max approved for me. During this waiting period I've been finding out more about the company and building rapport with the hiring manager/ my supervisor. I hope to build myself up even more in their eyes while I wait for an official offer $$$. I'm very anxious about the offer but I remembered someone told me, let them throw out the first numbers. So in the meantime I will continue to connect and build up my stock ...

[andylacivita]

Folks, building rapport immediately is so vital and will give you residual benefits throughout the entire interview! Make sure to use these tactics to win over the interviewer right away! And, make sure to let me know what you need and also SUB to the channel so you don't miss the weekly videos and live shows!

Glad I watched this one. I suppose I will get an interview pretty soon as it is an internal application and I got the predecessor of the job I applied for and her ex-boss both on my reference list. The predecessor was in the hiring committee of the hiring official one year ago and she did speak really high of her (hiring official). I will definitely start as you suggested. Thanks!

[madolmabor]

Good, thank you indeed, your information is quite helpful to me as a job seeker...

[GamingHubbb]

I have internal interview tomorrow for a manager grade job at major world bank, wish me luck. Your videos have got me pepped up.

[anupammisra]

great andy, this is making me introspect a lot

[mohammadsalehi]

Andrew, Awesome tips and thanks for all these wonderful videos!
