in all seriousness, be real with em. let em know money is tight. get a feel to see if they are serious about bringing you on board. if the only thing they require is a good face to face, i say beg, borrow or steal to make the trip. but only if its a last step interview. - which i hope it is, - good luck man

the main 2 reasons I'm into Seattle are because 1) good design scene and 2) I'll get to surf again. Not much, but weekend trips are better than living next to Ole Man River out here....

That's kinda lame. They should cover the expense for you. Still, if the opportunity is good, it's probably worth finding and/or borrowing the $$ to make it happen. I live in Seattle and it is a lot of fun, just hope you don't mind the rain:)

they are reading this right now, and not going to hire based on the fact that you need us to help you.
psyyyychhh!!!

meh. Well I do want it, just bought the plane tickets, but I won't expect relocation if they offer me the job...which would suck since the logistics of moving from Missouri to WA are no picnic and I'm broke.

For the job I'm going for in HK, they will be paying for my flight from Australia to HK. depends on the company I guess.

you may not be the only other finalist for the job.
they may have the perspective of "why should we drop cash on soneone we dont know to be a gurantee."
could also be one of those, how badly does he want it deals, too.

So I just got a response:
"Hi Matt,
We'd expect you to cover your own travel and expenses for the trip. The good
news for you is that it's tax deductible (job search expenses).Let me know when you've confirmed travel."
What?!? Is this normal for design firms? These people have some massive clients and are supported by a big parent company! I ain't made of money...being unemployed for 4 months with only sporadic freelance so far makes gramme a poor boy

Thanks gramme... ditto.
I was only asking because I worked at FB in Toronto and I know they just opened an office in Seattle.
Good luck!
