FYI, I am friends with Albie (ECIC) from back in our USAF days, and he does great work, too. They have different methods, and Lori's was more what I was looking for. She and I had two 5-hour one-on-one sessions via VOIP. Emerald Coast, from what I understand, is an 8 hour in-person seminar (or phone, if you can't make the seminar), with about 10 other people like yourself. The advantage of ECIC is it gives you other folks to bounce stories off of. The thing that swayed me to go with Lori's prep was the one-on-one time ... she really grilled me with lots and lots of questions.
Hope that helps, and good luck!

F15Cricket, congratulations getting hired on with AS! It's encouraging to hear the process was a class act. Thank you very much for your prompt and thoughtful response. I'm looking for the one-on-one time as well, so I'll be following up on your recommendation.

Cricket,
Glad to hear about your success, but you are off the mark with your description of ECIC. We do offer seminars, but included in our service is follow up one on one interview work via phone, Skype, on with online meeting software. You can also attend any follow up session or online session at no charge. In other words…you get the seminar AND the one on one time. "Once a client, always a client" is our policy. Hate to sound like I am a shrill here but the info you put out was inaccurate and misleading.

Agree, I did the seminar with ECIC back in October because they were in town and I had heard good things from other dudes. When I got an interview invite 6 months later, I sent a note to Mary and had a one on one phone session that lasted about an hour and a half. It gave me the confidence and fine tuning I needed to get the job. Great product and well worth the money. If I need them again, I plan on calling on them.
I would say the important thing is to just get some sort of interview prep, whatever the source. Had I gone in there without it, it would not have gone so well.

Lori is also a class act, so there are good options for all the folks out there seeking to learn how to interview.

Posted this a few times, but do the prep somewhere. True that some people can succeed without it, but chances are you won't. I couldn't have.
Liked the audio files ECIC sends you to review before you attend seminar. Liked the face to faces with Mary and Albie answering interview questions with your peers watching, listening, and critiquing. As good a simulation of real interview pressure as i experienced. The methodology and philosophy of the method ECIC teaches works. Have used the "get out your wallet" step already on the line dealing with a real issue.
My favorite parts of ECIC are the ability to plug back in at a later date when you need it and the network you access. I used the audio files and a one on one phone call to brush up before a different interview. Have stayed in contact with seminar mates and run into some of them on the line. We all feedback to each other and to ECIC.
YMMV but 2 for 2 on interviews after ECIC.

Someone asked about Rainier in Seattle for prepping with ALK. I don't know anyone who has used it, put when I spoke with Will M. at a job fair a few months ago he mentioned that people who prepped there have had the most successful interviews lately. Seems like a solid recommendation.
