Will you be hopelessly hired every time? Of course not! At least not until you’ve done it for a while. The working world isn’t a perfect world. That’s why you can get hired over and over, and someone with better credentials can’t.

And every single visit—no matter how it turns out—will make you better at the 100 more instant-interview self-marketing techniques that follow.

Do 2: Making and Taking the Instant Interview Magic Potion

Want to interview stronger and longer?

Pow!

Here’s the Instant Interview Magic Potion. A delicious drink that will power you through a whole morning of instant interviewing.

The potion stabilizes your metabolism and curbs your appetite. That allows you to concentrate on what you do best—instant interviewing. (Follow the making-and-taking instructions carefully to maximize potency and effectiveness.)

Your Basic Disclaimer

It’s not really magic. It will only seem that way!

I have no way of knowing whether you’re allergic to water, let alone the other ingredients.

Consult with your doctor before imbibing, ingesting, inhaling, or otherwise taking the potion.

The Potion’s Magic

If you fortify your body and mind in the morning, you’ll be energetic, alert, and able to go the distance. The magic is that you’ll be doing it and no offerors will.

This will make you appear even more confident, upbeat, and energetic than your coffee-and-donut breakfast, greasy-fast-food lunch audience. They’ll want you around even more.

It’s common knowledge that a processed carbohydrate meal causes your blood sugar level to rise rapidly, temporarily increasing your energy. But it also drops rapidly, causing sluggishness and irritability. You don’t need a spike in your blood sugar. You need sustained energy, mental acuity, and no hunger. That requires high-octane, nutritionally balanced fuel.

Your body is too precious and unique to run with anything but the best you can. We started with a delicious high-protein, low-fat, low-carb smoothie. Adding the coffee gives just enough caffeine to boost your brain activity without making you jumpy.

The potion is not only instant. It gives you sustenance, so you won’t run down at sundown. You need to be there for your loved ones when the day is done.

The Potion’s Ingredients

Protein Powder (Whey or Soy)

Start with vanilla, but you can use other flavors as well. I rotate between vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry (using up one container at a time).

Protein powder gives you staying power and bulk for appetite control. Whey is a byproduct of milk. So, if you’re lactose intolerant, you may want to use the soy powder.

Oatmeal (Uncooked)

The high-fiber and rib-sticking qualities of dry oat flakes can’t be matched by any processed cereal or bread. Aside from the many other benefits of oats, the soluble fiber absorbs the potion and acts like a natural timed-release vitamin.

You can use regular or instant. Cook it the night before if anyone in a white coat’s following you and taking notes on a clipboard.

I know it sounds a bit weird, but what magic potion doesn’t?

If doing things like it says on the box could get you interviews, jobseekers would be jobbing rather than seeking. Working rather than eating.

Raisins

Another natural energy booster. Fibrous, filling, and tastes great.

Almond Butter

Almond butter contains loads of minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc, as well as healthy fiber. It has no trans fats, is low in saturated fat, and is rich in monounsaturated fat. It gives you yet more staying power and appetite control.

Instant Coffee

Coffee contains caffeine, which makes you quicker on the uptake because the neurons in your brain are firing more quickly. So you think faster. You’re happier too, because coffee is a mood enhancer.

Drinking instant coffee in the potion buffers the acid. Moreover, it reduces the spiking of caffeine since it’s metabolized evenly and slowly. A natural, sustained release
