		<description><![CDATA[In differential calculus an inflection (or inflexion) point is the point on a curve where the curvature changes sign and therefore shape. Lives and careers have inflection points too: those moments where, due to events or new insight, suddenly everything is turned around or looks different. Inflection points can be &#8220;achievements&#8221; but they don&#8217;t need to be. Often they are [...]]]></description>

The difficulty with interviewing (of all types) is that it is a test of &#8220;total communication.&#8221; That is, it is not just what you say, but how you say it.
