		<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.

A few days ago Practical Hacks reader Tracy wrote in to report that she&#8217;d landed a job the same day she interviewed, thanks in part to her use of the &#8220;90 Day Action Plan&#8221; template which is available on the FREE Downloads page (just click on the tab in the header).
