While I didn't get that job via an II, it helped me to maintain a high level of activity, contributing to personal confidence and reduced depression. I even asked for and received a $1000 "signing bonus." Of course, there were some stipulations to it, but it was not a problem. Signing bonus was not common in that industry.
