Upon politely requesting Con-way renegotiate their initial offering in writing, this morning about an hour ago they returned with a 7% increase which was more than I was contemplating asking for. Needless to say, I accepted and will begin on Monday. Eric, I applied Active Interviewing to two interviews from which I received two offers. Proves my approach to interviewing was incorrect. I thank you for your time, securing this position was due to Active Interviewing. I am very appreciative.

Attached is the presentation I developed for my interview at ING today. It was definitely a worthwhile exercise in terms of preparation and in terms of impressing the hiring manager. She spent 75 minutes with me and then three of her team spent another 45 minutes. I'm excited about the possibilities!

I just wanted to let you know that I just used an interview presentation in an interview that I just came from.  The company is Viamedia. The person that I interviewed with was really really impressed.  I gave it to her when I left to review. I think it’s a great tool. Just wanted to let you know.

I attended the June Seminar - where Eric Kramer gave an excellent presentation on the interview being a sales call. He closed with the most important interview question one can ask :"Do you have issues or objections to my candidacy that we can discuss, so I can resolve any concerns you may have?"

 I had multiple interviews today for a position and asked each interviewer this question. Each one thought about it and responded "no" or with a potential concern/question.   However, three were a bit taken aback, and said that this was an excellent question that they had never been asked before. I believe that this made a very favorable impression on at least those three, if not all of, the interviewers.

 Thanks so much for the fantastic seminars you provide, as well as all of the amazing information that is so useful to those in a job search!
