		<description><![CDATA[The key to success in any interview is preparation. The hiring manager has taken the time to read your resume and even possible research you. The least you can do is show similar respect by researching the company you’ll be interviewing with. If you have time, it is also wise to research the hiring manager as well.
Employer information from the library: There are many ways to research a hiring company and hiring managers. Your local librarian can help out, most likely they will be able to pull up demographics on ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The job of any good interviewer is two fold. First, it&#8217;s the interviewer&#8217;s job to sell you on the job and the company. Second and most important, it&#8217;s their job to protect the company and existing employees from a &#8220;bad&#8221; co worker. The easiest way to do this, is to make the job seeker comfortable &#038; excited about the opportunity, then to follow with questions designed to make us all sweat a little. Preparing for these tough questions is the best way to ace your next interview and move one ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you are preparing for a second interview, congratulations! You are now much closer to a new job. First, you have to close the deal and sell yourself to the second interview team. This is the point when a lot of people choke. To avoid the second interview freeze, I always suggest a good dose of preparation.
Ask questions about the job:
One of the most difficult parts of a second interview is coming up with a new set of questions. The first interview can use up most of your questions. Before ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It can be hard to explain why you lost your last job. In this market, so many of us have been put on the bench with no real explanation. Massive layoffs can leave anyone feeling like their performance just wasn&#8217;t good enough. Even worse an oversight, accident, or poor performance is very hard to explain and can put anyone on edge when questioned.
During the interview for your next job, your answer could just kill your chances at the next position. However, a little bit of preparation can turn the table ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First impressions can make the difference between long lasting relationships and your next rejection letter. Making the right first impression is a fairly simple concept, but it&#8217;s one that is very important. Many people consider the first impression to be more even important than your resume.
Mastering the art of the first impression is pretty straight forward, but requires practice and preparation.  Most people think the first impression is built throughout your first meeting. According to that train of thought, you are building the first impression throughout the first interview.

		<description><![CDATA[The days of door to door job applications are dead. To get in front of the right hiring managers, you have to take slightly more strategic approaches. These strategies include all of the same tactics found in traditional marketing efforts, plus a few from the world of internet marketing. When properly applied, these basic strategies will place you squarely in front of hiring managers that may lead to your next position.
Finding your next employer can be challenging, especially if your job hunt is limited to blind posts on job boards ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You applied for a job, and now you&#8217;ve been called in for an interview! The tendency is to begin panicking. &#8220;What questions will they ask me? Do I have enough experience?  What should I wear?&#8221;
First, take a deep breath, and look at this interview from a different perspective. Imagine that you are the interviewer. Look at your resume or application. Does anything raise questions in your mind? Are there missing dates in your work history? Does that description of your last job make sense? Take each section of your ...]]></description>
