		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re in MBA interview season, and its been gratifying to see how many R1 clients have come back with interview invitations so far. So, a few observations, hopefully non-obvious ones, on managing MBA interviews. I&#8217;ve written a whole additional chapter in my book (2e, 2010) on MBA interviewing, and I&#8217;ll be adding a few more [...]]]></description>
