< Hacking the Technical Interview >

 

NLP or Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a rogue branch of pschylogy that isbased on the premise that language and communication can be used to influencepeople. Using these skills in a technical interview would produce remarkableresults.Some of the tools and techniques that can be used to influence the outcome ofa technical job interview are:

< Syncing >

People like people who are like themselves. Syncing is way by which youcan establish deep rapport with anyone by mimicking their physiology. By sittingin the same posture, nodding in the same way, breathing at the same rate, youcan create a strong connection with the interviewer.

< Anchoring >

Spatial Anchoring is a powerful way to associate all the positivefeelings to you and negative feelings to the rest of the candidates whoare being interviewed.

< Footprinting >

Footprinting allows you to exactly know what qualities the interviewerare looking for and how to position yourself as the ideal candidate.
