CBS offered you a job and required you to pay your way to the 
interview??? That should have been you first clue that something was 
wrong. Jobs at that level not only pay all expenses but relocate you, 
as well. I've worked in a number of cities and have never paid 
expenses for interviews or relocation.

That amazes me. It might happen today but not back in 1981.
