Getting Paid for Going to Interviews

[plennis]

 Yes, it use to be a lot more common, especially for upper level skills or management positions.  My husband and I both went on several interveiws where we were paid for mileage or travel expenses plus per diem.  All 4 of my children received paid trips and mileage for college interviews and from professional ball clubs starting in the 11th grade.     All were exceptional athletes and scholars so they/we were courted by everybody.

Sounds cool.  I've had some headhunters offer to pay for interviews and/or relocation, but haven't taken them up on the offers because I didn't like where the jobs were located...

Wow ... thanks for all the replies.  And trust me I don't get paid to go on interviews anymore.  Seems a lot of you have not been paid for going on interviews, but others replied that they have.

At the time, 2005 to 2006, I was working full-time but off on Fridays and mayabe another day off for vacation here of there.  It got to the point where I would not really want to go on an interview if I was not getting paid and I think that's why the might have done it.

It helps out because driving to these interviwes if not cheap.
