you pay for the hotel then include your expenses (plus VAT) when you invoice them
NEVER let the client pay for you, or reimburse you directly
And congrats, i was only joking before

Surely its me but does interview != job
Or with contracts do they usually only send one person, get and yes/no then send another etc.
Not sure as for my first contract I was told I had the job halfway through the interview.Comment

As the client is goign to pay for my accomodation ( through my invioces) then I'll go for a good decent accomodation!!
Sockpuppet, it all depends, it all varies, once (a few years back) I went to an interview and the first question they asked me was 'when can you start' for this contract they had 2 vacancies and they interviewed 3 people (all from the same agency). I've been to interviewed where I was a perfect fit, but didn't get the job! I think luck and the personality the person they are looking for plays a big part.Comment
