Interview travel expenses         

Question 3: I have been  asked to attend a job interview in a different city., so will need an airline ticket, hotel room for one night & a rental car or taxi. Should I ask them if they expect me to pay for these interview travel expenses or will they pay? Currently I am only working part time. 

Answer: 

It really depends on the company. 

• Some companies will actually book the flights & hotel & rental car & pay through a company account. 
• Some will ask you to pay, then to submit the expenses after your trip in the form of an expense report, then they will reimburse you. 
• Some may ask you to pay for the expenses. 

You can simply ask if they will  reimburse these interview travel expenses, or if you have to pay. If you have to pay, you can decide right away if you want to be working for them & take it from there.
