No go for the West Coast

I decided against going to the West Coast Interview Forum. Of the four cover letters that I sent out, I received two rejections, one email telling me the company was no longer interested in hiring, and only one request for an interview. I am not going to spend $500 for a roundtrip airline ticket and at least $60-140 per night (depending if I can find someone to split the room with) for a hotel room for just one interview. Besides, if I want to get a rejection letter in the mail, I can write one myself.

 

Here it goes:
