Thank you Mark and Mike!!! I finally am getting around to the much due appreciation to you guys and the interview series of podcasts. A little background, for the first 7 years of my career I was an aeronautical engineer and didn't really feel like I was firing on all cylinders. There was just something missing. So I went back to school, got an MBA, and began figuring out what exactly I wanted to do with my life. What I landed on was that I wanted to get into the world of Marketing Research. Talk about a big career change. During that process, the interview series came out and I talked to my wife about buying it. She definitely wasn't thrilled about the $150 but we decided to go for it. After countless hours of preparation and working on the principles that are described in the series I was able to land my dream job and make the huge career jump. I didn't have the skills and experience that would usually be required for the job that I landed. But because of the strength of my interview skills I was able to convince the hiring managers to take the risk and hire me for the position. My wife and I have talked about it numerous how thankful we are for the interview podcasts and how much of an impact they had on my career change. I could not have done it without those cast. I love my new job and I am now firing on all cylinders So thank you Mark an Mike, keep up the excellent work! Josh Market Research Analyst
