    A view from the other side....

    I often do recruiting for my clients. I HATE doing reverse search (cruising databases) because it is a) more work than screening responses to an ad and b) I hate cold calling people. That said the boards (Monster, CareerBuilder, DICE) tell me that the database is a better route for employers...AND they tell that to people looking as well. Of course, they charge me far more to reverse search than to run an ad! If the client is willing to pay for it I will do both. But it is expensive so doing it without a "real" job would be a waste.

    I cannot stress how important follow up to an interview is for a candidate. I have seen a well-written thank you note after an interview make the difference in which candidate got the job.

    Sounds like this company has seen your value! Good luck. If you would like I can also review your resume if you pm it to me. A good resume doesn't get the job but it gets the first interview....and there are things that can make your resume stand out from the others (and visa versa!)
