I had to do it for my federal interview. I paid flight, room, rental car.

i got to interview with the CIA before I backed out. Does that count?

"backed out", right. we know you just can't tell us you got the job. instead you work for "Department of the Interior"

Coincidentally, a future manager had worked for the CIA for a few years.
