This is an example of how not to get the job.
You have sent your CV to a company or an agency who are seriously recruiting for a position.
They call you and ask you for an interview, suggesting a time within the next couple of days. You are currently unemployed and live within half an hours train journey.
"I can't do it, perhaps one day next week?" is your reply.
This does not give the impression that you are really interested in the job and the interviewer will no longer be persuaded that you are a serious prospect.
Most interviewers realise you cannot just drop everything and be at their beck and call, but if you really cannot make the first couple of times they suggest, please have a credible excuse why not and express it sympathetically and succinctly.
