Help - Interview in another city

Post by Anonymous User » Tue Oct 14, 2014 5:17 pm

Hey guys, so I know this is random and my own doing, but I am trying to figure out how to best spin this. In sending out my mass mails, I added a statement to certain cities where I had family that I would be in town soon and would like to interview.

One firm confirmed that they would like to interview me, however tickets are ridiculously expensive to fly there from my current PNW city (Flying to flyover state).

Any ideas or advice on how to spin this to get them to pay for it, or am I stuck shelling out the 600 bones for a one day plane ticket?

Thanks!

You told them you'd be in town soon, and now you want them to pay for your ticket so that you can be in town? I don't know man, I think I'd ding you just for that.

I just was wondering if there is any way to get around shelling out the big bucks, but I should have realized last minute flights are not cheap.

Know a good way to get a cheap flight last minute?
