I'd have thought 15 mins. was a very reasonable commute time. What are they expecting? That you live on the company premises? ::)
If you were to specify that you are prepared to relocate to wherever a job comes up, they should see that as a positive not a negative. I can't understand their logic.
Is it possible that this temp job may turn into something more permanent, as in Stevey's case?
Good luck to you in your job search. Hope something turns up soon.
