I have only had one perspective employer
state that I would have to pay my own
interview and traveling expenses.  in that
instance a telephone interview took the
place of a face-to-face interview.

Usually when I've gone for an interview
I paid the expenses and the museum
reimbursed me.  This works out pretty
well except for once when it took 3
months and several phone calls to get my
money.

But perhaps the reason I get my interviews
paid for has to do with the fact that I
prefer to drive if possible and gas is
usually cheaper than an airplane ticket.

For the most part, I turn down interviews
if I can't be reimbursed at least partially.
A museum might interview 4 people for a
position, but I might have 6 or more interviews
during a job search.  Money is tight and I
could quickly go broke paying interview expenses.
I do make an exception if the position is in my
area of speciality.
