Bjorn, Yes it is and that's exactly how I do what I call a presentation. I left off stating availability, job hunt status and salary expectation off the presentation. Definitely state your interview and start availability and job hunt status, particularly if you think you have an offer pending. Putting your salary expectation on the presentation is a highly debatable action. Many times it would help, many times it could hurt. Rarely will it limit you. If you do, build a small case for it by stating it in context of how long you have been at your current or last salary, did you take a cut due to economic times, etc.

Isn't the "modern equivalent" a couple of lines of politeness and introduction in the email with the resume? - ask -- http://askask.com/ - http://develooper.com/
