As I write this on Sunday morning, it&#8217;s difficult to believe that I was playing in a golf tournament a week ago.  It snowed Friday night in The Middle of Nowhere, and this morning the temperature is 27°F.

		<description><![CDATA[If you're looking for a job in this market, you need to make sure you cover all the basics when interviewing and following up with the hiring manager after the interview.  Make a wrong move, fail to prepare properly, or forget to do something that every other candidate you're competing with does, and you may ruin your chances of getting the job.

The good news?  None of this is particularly difficult.  It just requires some thought and yes, work.  

Even better?  Make these basic things part of your job interview routine, and you'll be more confident and better prepared as you approach each interview...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've interviewed executive level candidates who've done little more than spend a few minutes on our website prior to their interview.  To me, that conveys that they don't care about the job, they're lazy or complacent, and aren't the kind of people I want to have working at our company.  If they don't care enough to do a thorough job of prepping for an interview, how will they approach their job?

In late August of last year I made my &#8220;90 day &#8216;Action Plan&#8217;&#8221; file available on the FREE Downloads page.  If you&#8217;re not familiar with it, it&#8217;s a great  &#8220;seal the deal&#8221; tool to bring with you to a second interview:  an outline of how you plan to approach your first three months on [...]]]></description>
