		<description><![CDATA[If you want to push the interviewer for a decision, you can apply some subtle pressure by using one of the questions below. You will create a sense of urgency that might prompt the interviewer to come back with an offer quicker than he or she might have. But it also introduces a lot of risk. The interviewer may feel pressured or even bullied. Do it only when you can afford to lose-if you in fact have other offers in the bank or you are comfortably employed. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In general, as we discussed, it’s tricky to be too direct in asking for the job. But if you are applying for any kind of sales representative job, then asking for the job is not optional. If you don’t ask for the job in the interview, you probably won’t get it. The employer wants you to be able to close the sale. Why should the employer give you a chance selling his or her product or service when you can’t even sell yourself? Remember, the job of a sales representative is to ask for the order and to close the deal, not just make a nice presentation.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Asking for the job directly is tricky, and there’s some disagreement from recruiters and job coaches. Some consider asking for the job assertive; others think it cheeky or smacking of desperation. My personal preference is to err on the side of being assertive. The meek may, as the Bible says, inherit the earth, but they don’t necessarily get jobs. As always, you have to use your radar and trust your instincts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jobs interviews are sales calls. The product you are selling is yourself. Marketing 101 says that every marketing message needs a bid for action: a clearly worded request for the order. Pick up the phone. Send in the response card. Click on the link. Give me an offer.]]></description>
