  • Job interviews - two wasted journeys - what would be legal basis for a claim?

    I went all the way to London for an interview with a company, from Birmingham to London. Then a follow-up interview after passing the first one.

    I was told on Friday just gone that I should never have been invited to the first interview, let alone the second, as my C.V. was flagged early on and I was considered an unsuitable candidate.

    I have been offered my petrol costs, but really, I am very annoyed at this massive waste of my time.

    Two days taken off work which are holiday days I will not get back, plus about twenty hours of my time all in all 5travelling back and for, not to mention other expenses like food, coffee, etc.

    What would be my legal basis to claim these? The company initially turned me down when I asked for compensation, and now want me to write a preaction letter to their legal people.

      Sorry - I did not reply because I can see no legal basis for a claim.

        Take the petrol money offered graciously and walk away.
