Here's my situation:
I'm in Orlando but I'm looking for a job in Atlanta. The reason is because my boyfriend moved there a few months ago for a doctoral program at GATech and...well...I miss him. Since I will be living with him when I move up there, I put my Atlanta address on my resume. The reason is because I feel as though employers in Atlanta will automatically write me off if they see an Orlando address out of fear of having to pay moving/relocation fees (which they won't since I have a place to live in Atlanta).
I had someone call today to schedule an interview with me. I explained to them that I am currently in Orlando (yikes!) but the reason for my Georgia address is because I do have a place there and I plan on being there within the next month. I'm not sure if that was the best way to handle it. I had to tell them that I wasn't exactly living there yet because they wanted me to come in for an interview on Wednesday morning which is impossible. I asked if this Friday or next Friday would be ok and the HR lady said she would call me back as soon as she spoke with the hiring manager about a possible interview on either of those Fridays. So, now my problem is travel expenses. I don't have to worry about hotel, food or car rental expenses since I have the boyfriend for that

but I do have to worry about an airline ticket. It's expensive! Do I bring up them possibly covering the cost of my airline ticket or should I just pay for it myself? This is a huge Fortune 500 company so I know that they have it in their budget but I don't want to come across as rude by asking.
Have any of you done an out-of-state job search and have advice for me on how to handle the situation that I'm in?
