With millions of highly-skilled people on the hunt for a job these days, the last thing you want to do is "blow it"  during an interview with a prospective employer. When applying or interviewing for a position, Sue Morem says it is important to remember the following:

•Create a resume that has as much style as it has substance. Never develop this all-important document too quickly, or without outside help.

•Prepare well in advance for every interview. Have the ideal wardrobe ready, review your portfolio, know what's on your resume, know the company's exact location, know the title (and ideally, the name) of the person with whom you'll be interviewing, pay attention to details like your hands and nails, never wear shoes that are in poor condition

•Send a handwritten thank you note and follow up with a phone call

•Keep your voice mail messages brief and always state your name and phone number slowly – write it as you say it

•Return all phone calls within one business day
