I closed!

Well just thought I would share.  I have been trolling around manager-tools for a couple of months and I recently purchased the Career tools license with the Interview Series and it has really opened my eye on how to effectively prepare for an interview.

I am interviewing for a job with a Fortune 100 and I have interview with the recruiter (and I closed) and I had my first phone interview with the company today and I closed again!   I will hear by Friday if I am in line for the next interview.

I practiced my introduction, significant accomplishments and close multiple times and even timed them and recorded them.  I will admit I was concerned that the "close" would come off as brash but I just did it anyway.  

As the interview was wrapping up the the interviewer told me I do a very good interview, I present myself well and my examples were very clear and painted a picture.

I followed up with a thank you email and I closed again (No, I didn't snail mail it)

I want an offer,

Chris
