Interview - is it weird to arrange your own travel?

Hi everyone,

Apologize in advance if this is a dumb question, but I just got invited to a superday in another city and they asked me to call their travel office to make arrangements, but it would be a lot simpler for me to arrange it on my own - is it weird to call back and tell them that? Would they say:

a) "that's a mature attitude, he's serious, and is saving us money" b) "that's weird, who does that, must be a weirdo" c) "we don't give a fuck"

thanks

its a lot simpler to have them arrange it, you tell them the times and destinations they send your confirmation. you go to the airport and check inn. how much simpler can it be.

"too good to be true" See my WSO Blog
