hey everybody Don Georgevich here with
job interview tools i recently learned
something new about interviewing for
jobs apparently there are these five
magic words that you can say at the end
of a job interview and it will compel
your interviewer to offer you the job on
the spot
it's a very powerful technique and in
this video i'm gonna tell you what those
five words are how i discovered them and
more importantly how you can apply them
to your interviews to get that result to
get interviewers to offer you the job
so before we dive right into that if you
like my channel you like the kinds of
things i'm doing here and you want to
get notified every time i release a new
video please subscribe and after
watching this video if you find it
helpful please give it a thumbs up i
would appreciate it
so back to those five words a couple of
weeks ago i was having a cup of coffee
at starbucks with the ceo of a very
high-end executive search placement firm
they're actually ranked one of inc
magazine's fastest growing companies so
me and robert are sitting down and we're
having a cup of coffee at starbucks and
we're just swapping stories about
interviewing and hiring and stuff like
that
and then he leans into me and he goes
don
there's just one thing i wish job
candidates would do
at the end of an interview
and my clients wish they would do it too
and if they did it would just give them
the job he says all they got to do is
ask for the job
and i'm like really that's it just five
words
can i have the job he's like yeah he
says but nobody does it people are
afraid to do it they think it's too
pushy but from our end we want to know
if they really want the job and this
helps us understand
if they really want it all they got to
do is ask for it my clients wish they
would do it i wish they would do it
but hardly anybody does it
and i'm like wow this is amazing because
i've actually done that before in job
interviews when i used to interview but
i didn't really even realize it was a
technique i just
felt like in the moment that it was
right to ask for the job and so i did
and i usually got it when i did
but i want to share this with you as a
technique a strategy that you can use at
the end of your interview so that you
know maybe that'll give you the uh the
employer that nudge that they need to
offer you the job now you might be
thinking don how does the ceo of one of
the fastest growing companies have time
to meet with you
well i'll tell you their offices are in
cleveland ohio and i'm in cleveland ohio
so i kind of just reached out to them
when i noticed that they were one of the
fastest growing companies in america
and asked to just meet with them and so
we had a little chat so the bigger
question is
how can you apply this how can you apply
those five words
in your job interviews now i'll tell you
you can't just walk into a job interview
and say can i have the job because that
doesn't work i mean maybe for some jobs
today right now because of the way the
market is but you know
for the most part you can't just walk in
and say can i have the job that doesn't
work you have to be in rapport with your
interviewer that means you have to have
worked your way through the conversation
you have to have shown them that if they
hired you you could offer them real
value
and
like i said you have to be in rapport
with your interviewer all throughout the
interview that means when you get to the
end when you get to the end of the
interview
both of you are kind of feeling like you
know there's there's a match there's a
potential match there and just to use a
dating reference because i love making
dating references with job interviewing
because the parallels are just so spot
on i mean think about a time when
you went out on a date with someone
and
you started off you know you picked the
person up maybe you went out to dinner
maybe you went out to a movie maybe you
went for a walk on the beach
you kind of build rapport
all throughout the evening maybe you
reach out and you hold their hand uh
maybe you smile at them and then you
know after a whole evening of building
rapport at the end you know maybe you go
in for a kiss and and maybe you get it
and maybe you don't but you're not gonna
go in for that kiss
unless you're in rapport with that other
person i mean if you guys just had if
you guys just butted heads
all night long or there was just a lot
of friction a lot of uneasiness
then you're not going to go in for the
kiss you're not going to go in for the
hand holding
a job interview is the same way the kiss
is
asking for the job can i have the job
those five
simple
words but like i said you gotta build up
to it and to build up to it you have to
show them
that you're really interested in what
they're doing you're interested in the
job you're interested in the opportunity
you're interested not maybe just in the
job but in the company as a whole maybe
you're interested in the kinds of things
that they are doing as a company
and
you show them that you want to be a part
of that you show them that you're
like-minded you show them that
you fit in with their culture you feel
you show them that you're one of them
and when you can build this up
all the way now it might not happen
might not happen on the first interview
i mean it's happened to me on the first
interview um way back when i'm one of
the first jobs i ever interviewed for um
after two hours of interviewing you know
bam it just clicked it's like we just
felt like
you know we were right for each other
and you know i went on and i worked
there for a few years other jobs it's
taken me maybe two or three or even four
interviews
before we could reach that level
where
we felt comfortable you know taking that
step we felt comfortable i felt
comfortable asking for the job now you
might be thinking
don that is just absolute ridiculous
i've asked for the job before i didn't
get it
or that's not going to work and you know
what
it's not going to work every single time
even if you are in rapport i've known
many candidates before who've gone
through the whole process who were you
know just tops just total tops they were
a top top two pick easily
and yeah they didn't get a job
it just didn't happen they just you know
things at the last minute just didn't
click and
if you tried it it might not work if you
tried it two times it might not work but
i'll tell you this let me give you this
challenge
go out before you come back and say don
that's bs that doesn't work
go out try 10 times
go on 10 interviews
10 different companies and that are real
interviews you know not just you know
you're just showing up and you're just
kind of wishy-washy you're not really
qualified for the job you know go to go
on 10 interviews where you're really
qualified for the job
and then ask for it
i'm willing to bet that if you did that
on ten
different job interviews
you would get the job at least three
to four times out of ten three to four
out of ten that that's a 30 to 40
success rate that is huge now some of
you folks you know in other parts of the
world you might be thinking oh you know
you guys are crazy over there in america
you guys are so bold you're so brash
you're just out there in the face asking
you know for the job that's ridiculous
that would never work over here were way
too polite we would never do that
well
have you tried
have you tried i mean there's a way to
do this
so that
it doesn't seem pushy and like i said
though
you have to be in rapport
with your interviewer that means you
guys are building a little relationship
along the way and when you get to the
end let's say let's say you're in great
britain and you folks over there across
the pond are very polite and you would
never ask for the job
give it a try
just when you get to the interview and
you're totally in rapport with that
interviewer
and you're like you know hey um i i
really think that
i could be of great value to you here
and and i really like the kinds of
things that you're doing
you know would you would you be
interested in taking the next step you
know can i have the job
give that a try
and
what's going to happen what's the worst
that's going to happen
they might say no they might say i don't
know
they might say
yes
so right there you got a 30 chance
so
the magic words are can i have the job
but like i said you don't want to just
ask can i have the job you want to build
up to that level and you want to start
off with
a closing statement that's really the
best way to work those words into your
interview is in a closing statement and
that's where you kind of summarize
everything that happened in the
interview you talk about well you know i
really like the kinds of things that
you're doing i'm very interested in this
project i'm really interested in the
kinds of things i'm really impressed
these be impressed with them really
impressed with the kinds of things
you're doing here and and i'd like to be
a part of that and i think i can make a
valuable contribution can i have the job
it's as simple as that
that's all you got to do my friend
and
that's all i got for you today now to
help you to help you go that little bit
further on your next interview because
they're going to ask you a whole bunch
of different questions and i want you to
have
good answers for their questions and
that's that's how you get in rapport
with your interviewer is by giving them
good answers that reveal a lot about you
and
i want to give you my brand new book i
just finished this book
it is
got the top 10 interview questions and
answers in it and it's going to tell you
how to answer tell me about yourself
it's going to walk you through the
process there's a process to answer and
tell me about yourself it's this little
three-step process and i cover that in
here um another question i cover in here
is you know why do you want to work here
and
your weakness questions and this also
has about 12 questions that you can ask
your interviewer now you don't want to
ask you any of your just any question
just because i have it in this book you
know you don't want to ask that question
you only want you only want to ask them
questions that will help you decide
if you want to work for them or not
those are the kinds of questions you ask
your interviewer and then this little
book i guide you right through that and
this is free is my gift to you just for
watching this video today and if you
head on over to job interview tools dot
com slash top10 put your name email
address in there tell me where to send
this book i will get you the pdf version
out instantly just like that
and it will start preparing you
for
your next interview so that you can
build that relationship build that
rapport with your interviewer so that
when you get to the end end of the
interview and if you feel it's right
if you feel that this job is right for
you and you really believe
that they could benefit from having you
there then ask for the job
and and if you don't feel comfortable
saying you know can i have the job you
know
then don't say it
don't do anything in a job interview
that makes you feel uncomfortable just
because i tell you here
you know these are the things you should
do
only do them if they feel right for you
only do them if they make sense for you
if you're terrified of going into a job
interview and saying can i have the job
and you kind of just show up and you're
like can i have the job don said i
should ask you know you're not going to
go anywhere that's
that that's total that's a total failure
you want to be comfortable
asking for the job and you should be
just like you know if you were on a date
you should feel comfortable reaching out
for the other person's hand to hold it
well maybe you're a little nervous for
that but um you know you build up that
comfort level
you reach out and you hold their hand
and you have conversations you build
rapport all throughout the evening and
then you go in for the kiss and
you've been on dates before where maybe
you didn't feel like you know going in
for the kiss
and and you didn't
and maybe maybe you regretted it maybe
you didn't but on a job interview
if you go out there and you have a
really good interview and you don't ask
for the job i can almost guarantee you
that
you're going to regret it you're going
to go home and you'll be like dang i
wish i'd just asked for the job don said
i should have asked for it i should have
just asked for it but i was just too
nervous you know
try again next time
but build up to it don't just go in and
ask for it
ease into it and be comfortable asking
it um you don't want to ask it in a
nervous way and you don't want to just
say can i have the job
build the rapport ease into it
work it into your closing statement
where you summarize the interview you
summarize the position you summarize the
things that you've done
and then you go in and you calmly and
confidently ask for the job all right my
friend that is all i have for you today
i wish you the very best on your next
