Building Rapport with the Hiring Team to Land an Engineering Job in Oak Brook

Engineers, architects, geologists, and technicians, pay attention because we are about to significantly reduce the amount of time that it takes you to land your dream job.  Studies have concluded that it often takes job seekers with these titles almost twice as long to get a job offer, but they are most likely to receive a call for an interview within days of posting their resume online.  Is it difficult to land an Engineering job in Oak Brook?  Recruiters are hot on the trail of those looking for a Oak Brook engineering job the day that they post their resume, so what is the missing piece?  Engineers and architects in Oak Brook may not have been trained to establish interview rapport like those who majored in non-science based liberal arts specialties.

Getting hired for a Oak Brook engineering job just got easier

Our experience shows us that establishing rapport with the hiring manager and recruiter is the fastest way to nail down that dream engineering job in Oak Brook.  Here is the best way to connect the dots, and make life just a little bit easier. 

Have you ever looked in the mirror while performing your daily routine?  You are completing the same task that the person in the mirror is completing, and they are directly copying you.  Obviously you are the same person, but what does this have to do with landing an engineering job in Oak Brook?  You must mirror the movements, posture, speech intonation, and voice volume of the person interviewing you without being obvious. 

The science of mirroring

Instantly mirror their posture when you sit down at the interview and change your posture to be an exact mirror of theirs twenty seconds after they shift positions. This will build an instant rapport with the hiring manager.  If you can perform this correctly for ten to twenty minutes you can then start leading the person with your posture.  Make a slight change in the way that you are sitting. Cross or uncross your leg and see if they follow.  If they do you have established rapport. If not, then keep working on covertly mirroring the person interviewing you.

You are already aware that copying their movements and posture can earn you instant rapport, but what about mirroring their voice intonation and volume level? Slow your speech down, or speed it up, and increase or drop your volume to match theirs. Stop and consider for a moment that this will not work if they have an incredibly deep or high pitched voice. In fact, they may think that you are mocking them.  This could lose you a shot at the perfect Oak Brook engineering job in a second.

Engineer hired. And that's how it's done!

If they catch you mirroring them just tell them that you were doing it to establish rapport because you really admire them and want this specific Oak Brook engineering job.  Generally this will result in a chuckle, an invitation to go to lunch, and an offer.  Congratulations, you have now landed yourself your dream engineering job in Oak Brook just by using a few nifty tricks pulled directly from the minds of executive level trainers.
