Why lie?
Because asking for a day off work for no determinable reason won't get me very far in the real world?
Ooh.. just been told I have a job interview next week.

And what a way to go from your current employer if you do get the job, you turn up next week and hand your notice in. They might put 2 and 2 together and realise you made a story up.
But hey, you do what your comfortable with and good luck with the interview.

lol- They're offering pittance (17-21k) for that role. Their offices are quite nice actually, they used to have an awesome big daddy statue on the T3 floor.
As for telling them I'm going for a job interview, that passed my mind, but if they just say no, i'm screwed
They can't, they have to let you goto interviews. but they don't have to pay you for the time off.
edit - although I have a feeling I might of said that before and been proved wrong..
If I'm at the point of handing my notice in, why would I care?
Thanks 
Where did you see the salary for the job, they don't advertise it anywhere?
I've done that plenty of times before, never did me any harm
In fact, one company I did that with actually took me back after being made redundant from the company I left them for!

They emailed me it - I find it incredibly irritating when companies do not disclose the salary they have budgeted.
Ooh, don't suppose you could forward me the email? if possible use my trust address
either way, i'm on about 21.5k now so I can try for the top end of that bracket.

Brilliant. OT, how old are you?
I just don't like the idea of using family members (such as hospital visits/deaths etc) as en excuse to get off work for an interview, just my personal opinion.

That'll keep his current boss on his toes!
I'm 23
Yeah, I wouldn't use family/medical reasons as an excuse. I once told work I couldn't come in because I had a really bad nose bleed (I hadn't), then 1 week later I really did have a bad nosebleed. I hadn't had one since I was a child, karma or what?!

yeah will do if I remember tonight- definately push for the high end - I personally think they have undervalued the role.
How come you got emailed it, do you work for them or in the same field?
Haha damn that is very bad luckI'm 23
