Internship Interview #3
This interview was with a psychologist I have met a couple times before, and actually interviewed with once in the past for another position (which I didn’t get). He’s a real alpha and most people seem find him somewhere between endearing, inscrutable, and intimidating.
I was so pleased with the mild and pleasant social effects of P74 from the previous night that I decided to throw caution to the wind and find out if it could be the missing ingredient of my perfect interview mix. Also, I used it at a much lower dose than that at which most users have reported pronounced effects, so I figured the potential for negative effects would be minimal.
Interview Mix 1.1
- 3x A314 Call of Cthulu Edition - applied 2x behind the ears and 1x spread on the wrist pulse-points
- 5mcg unscented P74 - applied to the pulse-points on the wrists
- 2x IH - applied to the pulse-points on the wrists, right over the P74
The past 2 interviews I used 2x A314 because I didn’t want to be seen as cocky, but after thinking on it more I decided I could use an extra status boost so I went for 3x this time.
I applied the IH over the unscented P74 to help fix the P74.
Self-Effects
I felt unusually relaxed and self-confident going into the interview. During the interview I found that I felt very well tuned-in to the interviewers’ reactions. He was still a little hard to read, but not as much so as in previous meetings. I found myself speaking in ways that were not only eloquent but unusually considerate of the interviewers’ apparent point of view.
Other-Effects
In previous meetings with this interviewer, I’d found him prone to monologuing. That was not the case in this interview. I found this discussion to be much more interactive. He remarked several times that my answers were very good, and appeared to be genuinely provoked to think deeply about what I was saying. At the end he seemed to have genuinely enjoyed the interview and said as much, and remarkably I felt the same way.
Conclusion
I think the additional A314 along with a small amount of P74 really took this interview mix to a new level. There was a level of mutual respect and connection that I’d not yet produced in any other interview, and which I did not experience in previous meetings with this same interviewer. I suspect that the IH and P74 are pretty synergistic in their effects on social connection, since there was such a noticeable qualitative difference in the effect from a relatively small amount of the P74.
I have another interview (at still another hospital) on Friday, and will plan on adding an additional 5mcgs of P74 to the mix.
