I just lost another interview because I don't already live down there. Can't they see the horrible Catch-22 of it all? I can't get a job because I don't yet live down there, but I can't move down there until I get a job! ARGH!!!@!!!!!!
Not to say you are doing anything wrong, but can I help with your cover letter? Generally, if you tell folks that you ARE moving, that helps. If you say you might move, they get all freaked out that you are going to ask for expenses.
And sorry if this is intrusive. I've had several folks on my LJ lately offer intrusive advice, and it pissed me off, so if I did this, I'm sorry.
Oh, he knew, and they all know, that I am moving. They are all VERY nice about it at first, until they "get a flood of more local applications over the weekend". Trust me, it's the first thing I tell them, and they always say it isn't a problem at all. It's the about-face that gets me.
And also, I even told this guy right up front, very first, that moving expenses are very negotiable. To him, it was more that he wants someone to start absolutely ASAP, not in two weeks, but right away.
