Thank you very much for the feedback. I really appreciate it. Hope you don't mind me sharing an experience with you. About a month back I made time from work to attend 3 interviews with a company. After the first interview they requested that I compile a presentation, a market analysis and a comparison of their brand. They were really impressed and requested that I present it to their CEO. I was told by the recruitment agency that they will get back to me. I haven't heard from them since. Tried getting in contact to no avail. I wish companies would be decent enough to provide feedback like Select Motor Recruitment
