Tips on Traveling Cheap For The Interview

Traveling by Air

Don’t just look at website of an airline and jump on to buy ticket rather search your itinerary on a airline search engine the best being

Kayak.com ( They have not paid us…. Try them and you would agree to us on that)

Other search engine worth mentioning are

Hotwire.com

Orbitz.com


2. Don’t just look at the closest airport both for departure and arrival but also compare prices for the a relatively distant but a bigger airport that can save you quite a handsome amount.

You can definitely do this for the departure airport as you have been living in the place for sometime and know very well how to travel cheap from one place to another relatively cheaply.

GreyHound

This is highly recommended for those who want to save every penny. You can purchase the discovery pass of Grey hound for 7 days for 199$

15 days for 299$

30 days for 399$

And 60 Days for 499$

You can have unlimited travel in United States in the time specified by the use of these passes

But a word of caution here …… Traveling 48 or sometimes 60 hours wont be a pleasant one ……… But You can definitely have all may be 20-30 interviews travel for the cost of a single airline travel.

If you are ready to compromise your comfort to save some bucks ……….this one is for you.

The good thing about greyhound is that it covers almost ALL destinations that you may have to visit.


AMTRAK



AMTRAK is a very pleasant and convenient way to travel and literally enjoy your Travel……. Little bit expensive than Greyhound but far more comfortable

The only disadvantage is that it does not cover all the destinations

Like greyhound you can have the USA pass

But it AMTRAK will not go to every destination that you wish to go specially the small cities.



The best bet would be a combination of Greyhound and AMTRAK with little bit of air travel wherever it is inevitable.

Pre Interview Dinner attire

The dinner before the interview may be a semi-formal or formal function.. For the semi-formal dinner, men's wear is typically a nice, dark colored suit with a white shirt; women may wear a knee-length business suit or a cocktail length dress. For a formal dinner or a black-tie event, men should wear a tuxedo with no tails, and women, a long dress with matching shoes. Low-cut, sexy dresses or colorful, far-out ties are not appropriate for either of these functions.


If you show up for your interview dressed in business attire and your potential employer is not, don't worry. It is far better to be dressed professionally than to be dressed too casually. Program want people who are broad based in their abilities to learn, grow, and contribute, residents who are flexible. Being dressed in a suit won't hurt your ability to be seen as someone employable.

Remember, your competence is not based on what you wear but rather on your personal knowledge and skills. Clothing simply allows you to state who you are and helps you to reach your professional goals. Appearance can be a powerful and useful tool in controlling the kind of message you send to others. With a little common sense and attention to details, you can easily make sure that first impression is your best.
