I have my 12th job interview in nearly 3 years next week. Many of these jobs have gone to internal candidates. For me, this is a huge waste of time and money for childcare (childcare is £80 per day and I'll need 2 days to prepare for a demanding interview and 1 day to attend the interview).
Anyway, I rang up HR at this organisation and asked if there were any internal candidates being interviewed. The man I spoke to said 'no internal candidates, but there is a person on a secondment with us, who is being interviewed'.
I do not understand the distinction between an internal candidate and someone on a secondment. What can he mean? Would it be a student who is on work experience, for instance? Should I go to the interview or not bother?

Should I attend an interview if an internal candidate is also being interviewed?
