How to get an interview and get a suitable job, taking into account the properties of your own psyche?
Part 1. How to interview for your dream job
What is special about people who find jobs easily? How do they get the interview done the first time? Maybe they own the psychological methods of influencing the employer? Or do they know the special secret of preparing for a job interview?
In this article, we provide two professional tips on how to get the right job:
- Understand what you want.
- Be in good mental health.
How self-misunderstanding is related to a job interview
Mikhail responded to the vacancy of a sales representative for the sale of power tools. From the way he behaved in the interview, it became clear that this field of activity did not bring him any pleasure. He received his trade education at the insistence of his parents; he was taken to a previous job by an acquaintance. Mikhail could not get used to it, he was very worried about this and decided to leave so as not to be disgraced. At the interview, Mikhail answered questions indistinctly, was unpersuasive and, of course, did not make the manager want to hire him.
In interviews, we often see people who have chosen a profession that is not suitable for them. When a person does not understand himself, he makes a choice of a specialty at random or on the recommendation of parents and relatives, who also do not really understand him.
Another reason for the wrong choice of profession is the idea of the prestige or prospects of a particular job imposed by society. Without understanding themselves, people tend to focus on false attitudes. We observed this en masse in the early 2000s, when many sought to get a legal education.
The wrong choice of profession leads to the fact that a person cannot become a professional, enjoy the results of his work. What can be the result if work is a burden? When a person cannot realize himself in society, he feels deeply unhappy, and his life is meaningless. How can he successfully pass an interview in such a state?
What happened to Mikhail?
Mikhail's mother is the owner of the skin vector - with a commercial streak, a natural desire to obtain benefits and benefits in trade. Wishing her son a better fate (as she understands it), the mother insisted on getting a trade education, and then sent him to an interview in a commercial firm.
A person with an anal vector has a strong connection with his mother, in childhood he is very obedient - an ideal child. And in adulthood, he has a tendency to listen to his elders, the opinion of his mother is especially valuable for him: "Mom will not advise bad things."
If Mikhail knew his properties, he would understand that he will not achieve success in commerce. Direct sales, KPIs, speed of service cause him to lose his ability to work and are very stressful for him.
People with an anal vector, such as Michael, naturally strive to receive and accumulate knowledge to teach others. Their main task is to accurately and in the smallest detail convey to people the experience of the past, eliminating the need to reinvent the wheel in every generation. Perseverance, analytical mind, the desire to constantly learn, attention to detail - their natural properties.
When at the interview we asked Mikhail to talk about the characteristics of the power tool, he just blossomed. With great enthusiasm, with the deepest knowledge of the subject, he gave details that our best sales agent did not know.
Mikhail was hired as a training manager. This is the best specialist in our company. A queue of sellers lined up for him, wishing to gain knowledge about the properties of the product and the features of its use. According to Mikhail, he is very grateful to the leader for the opportunity to become a respected specialist, that he was supported at such an important stage in his life.
This story has a happy ending. But many people are still doing jobs they don't like and don't know what to do.
Even if you have chosen the wrong path, do not be discouraged. We know many examples when a person radically changed his specialty and became incredibly happy. Read the results of these people here.
How to understand yourself and correctly determine what job to get
To figure out how to properly interview for a suitable job, you need to understand the structure of our psyche. The training System-vector psychology by Yuri Burlan will help us in this.
Each person from birth has his own characteristics of the mental structure that determine his aspirations and desires. At the same time, nature endows us with the corresponding abilities, talents - tools for the realization of our desires.
How to get an interview and get a suitable job, taking into account the properties of your own psyche?
- A person with a skin vector strives for leadership, property and social superiority. He is able to get benefits and benefits, save resources, show engineering ingenuity to optimize work. He has been assigned the properties for the realization of these aspirations - speed, logical thinking, the ability to do several things at the same time and be in time for everything. Such people even have the appropriate appearance - dexterous, slender, flexible. It would be correct for a person with a skin vector to pass an interview for both engineering and commercial specialties. Employees with a developed skin vector become ideal managers and leaders.
- People with an anal vector can be excellent professionals in any business where you do not need to rush, you can deeply study the issue, delve into the details. And most importantly, where there is an opportunity to transfer your knowledge and experience.

And if you are a special person, do you find interview questions insignificant and do not want to give answers to them? Are you not worried about how to behave in an interview? Do you think this is all vanity and meaninglessness? This means that your sound vector longs for fulfillment.
People with a sound vector have the hardest time in the modern world. People around them often cannot understand them. "Not of this world" - so people say about them.
Often, sound people seem to understand that you need to get a job, but they do not strive to pass an interview well. Since they are immersed in themselves, they often do not see the point and do not want to communicate with people.
And yet these are the owners of a huge abstract intellect. Brilliant engineers, creators of IT technologies, mathematicians, writers, psychotherapists, musicians, translators - this is an incomplete list of professions for realizing a person with a sound vector.
Outstanding achievements and breakthroughs in the field of physics, mathematics, in the field of space exploration, the emergence and development of the Internet became possible only thanks to abstract thinking and the ingenious ability to concentrate developed sound engineers.

Do you like to draw? As a child, did you come up with outfits for dolls? Did you feel sorry for every kitten, and as an adult, you cannot pass by someone else's pain? Emotional and sensitive people with a visual vector successfully realize themselves in culture, pedagogy and helping others. It is not difficult for them to successfully pass an interview both for creative specialties and for jobs where you need help: secretary, teacher, doctor, designer, photographer, HR specialist.
And if the visual vector is not realized? Then we observe a constant change of moods from “I love everyone” to “no one loves me,” demonstrative hysteria, emotional blackmail of others. How can such a person pass an interview? It will be correct to first understand and change your state. This will help to regain the ability to feel others, to be compassionate, to feel the joy of life. Then you can easily get a suitable job.
Change jobs and be happy
Olga worked as an evening cleaner in the office during her studies. She worked quickly, but poorly. Employees of the office felt irritation towards Olga because of the dusty tables, which she forgot to clean every time, and because of the garbage bins that were not taken out. "Vertikhvostka" - this is how her employees called her behind the back.
The owner of the cutaneous-visual ligament of vectors, Olga did not have a natural desire for cleanliness and order. These are the qualities of people with an anal vector.
When the vacancy of a secretary became vacant in the company, we invited Olya to try herself in this business. At the interview, I had to tell her that she needed to try to please her colleagues, to solve problems in relationships. “Seeing these evil people all day and serving them? No it is not for me . We barely convinced her to try.
A few months later, all the office staff were perplexed. Arguing, light, sensitive - it was a completely different Olya. She was able to realize the properties of the visual vector and build emotional connections with colleagues. The peculiarities of the skin vector made it possible to easily cope with a huge amount of paperwork, to keep up with everything, to help employees in negotiations with foreign suppliers. "Vertikhvostka" has become "our Olenka". So her colleagues now called her.
The crying and twitchy girl became a friendly and professional office owner.
There are many such examples in our practice. The chief accountant with a visual vector, who was laid off during the crisis, became a fashion designer - and part-time a happy person. The logist who passed the interview for the position of a programmer was able to realize the ability of his sound vector to focus and create Internet technologies.
All these people changed the state of non-fulfillment in the profession to a feeling of being needed and in demand.
An interview is an opportunity to determine the psychological state of the candidate
Whatever questions you may be asked during the job interview, and no matter how correct you behave, the employer will always feel the psychological state of the candidate during the interview.
When a person understands himself and his desires, this gives him a special inner state. He is self-confident, friendly to people, enjoys life, easily copes with difficulties. Such a candidate disposes to himself, you want to communicate with him and you want to take him to work. The recruiter becomes the first stakeholder to find a suitable job for such a person.
In my practice, there have been cases when we recommended a candidate to other employers (it's no secret that recruiters communicate with each other), if our company did not have the required position. With the recommendation of a systems psychologist, such a candidate was gladly invited for an interview and hired.
If you could find yourself in the professional field, figured out where you can realize yourself, that's great! This is already half of the road to success. But this is not all that your psychological state depends on. Fears, resentments, family problems, depression also affect how you behave at an interview with an employer.
A bad state cannot be hidden, it is read by others unconsciously, at the level of smells. Not those smells that we can identify, but on an unconscious level - pheromones.
It happens that candidates come for an interview - they are excellent specialists in their field, and it is unpleasant to communicate with them. I think everyone has met such doctors, teachers who know their subject better than others, but they have no desire to study and be treated.
If this happens, then the person has some internal problems.
People with an anal vector tend to be offended and remember everything bad for a long time. This heavy burden makes a person grumpy, vindictive. The reproach on the face is not conducive to the interview. To even out the psychological state, you need to realize the old grievances, or better, get rid of the resentment altogether.
Or, for example, a candidate is being interviewed and behaves like a crazy whirligig - fussing, making some unthinkable aimless movements. Sometimes he even bites his nails right in the interview. No matter how great a specialist he is, he will not be hired. Such flickering occurs in the skin vector under stress. Read about the causes of stress and how to get rid of it here.
Excessive anxiety, fears in all manifestations also do not contribute to the correct understanding of how to behave at an interview with an employer. People with a visual vector in poor condition fear everything. They look around, shudder from the opening door. Sometimes they even ask: "Will they not eat me here?" Primal fear is not a helper in employment. It is easy to get rid of it, having understood its nature at the training System-vector psychology.
This does not include anxiety about how best to prepare for a meeting with an employer and worry about how to get through an interview. This is a temporary condition that does not have a destructive effect on the human psyche. Moreover, excitement is an indicator of the seriousness of the candidate's intentions, and every recruiter understands this well.
A separate conversation about a candidate with problems in the sound vector. Self-absorbed, detached, sometimes arrogant, he seems to be doing condescension when answering questions during an interview. One gets the feeling that he doesn't need a job. This is partly the case. It happens that the candidate sighs with relief upon hearing “you are not accepted”, sinking deeper and deeper into a depressive state.
To understand the causes of your bad conditions and get rid of them forever, to find yourself and your place in life, join the free online training System Vector Psychology by Yuri Burlan. Hear how things change after the training:
Live life to the fullest or stand on the sidelines - it's up to you
