Airline miles! Cash back! Free stuff! Rewards points! Who could resist the joy of getting something simply for buying the things you normally buy, right? Who among those of us drawing breath and having a pulse haven't been asked by some store, bank, airline, or frequent buyer club to apply for their credit card because it has the best rewards around?

Say the words job interview and most people are intimidated enough. Yet now there is a new variable to add to the mix for your interview preparation. Because of the sheer number of applicants these days coupled with the high cost of travel, more and more recruiters and companies are using webcams to conduct video interviews with job candidates.
