By Beth Braccio Hering, CareerBuilder Writer
In a tough job market, landing an interview is a major accomplishment. When such opportunity knocks, be ready to show why you’re the candidate to hire. Here are five tips that can help job seekers make a great impression.

IT News – How to Build IT-Business Alignment
The first practical guide to building IT-business alignment.
Year after year, IT survey results inevitably state that one of the top priorities for the coming year will be to align IT with the business. It is as if alignment is some unattainable and mysterious process and IT leaders prefer to avoid it in fear of failure – or perhaps in fear of receiving more work as a result. The topic certainly gets a lot of attention and is often the source of many articles – such as this one, as well as presentations at IT conferences. After requisite googling task, I found 3,300,000 results on the topic!
To make this article standout and ascend above the rest of the chatter, I will describe what alignment is and precisely how to build it for your organization. That’s right, the first practical guide to achieving in your business!
