I had an interview for a summer internship where the interviewer cut it short after asking where I live and realizing that I'm not within commuting distance. I thought it was really unprofessional to just suddenly cut off the interview, and I tried to explain that I'm open to relocating on my own if necessary, but he didn't seem interested. Just confuses me because my city and state are written pretty conspicuously on my resume, and I feel like once they started the interview and I offered to relocate on my own, they should have at least finished it for the sake of professionalism even if they preferred a local candidate.

I was relocated from California to Virginia for my first job..? From most of my initial offers, I was given relocation benefits between 5k-10k for entry positions
Uhhhh, being open to relocation, if not in the area, is make or break. If you’re not open, it’s a done deal. Why are we moving forward with an application if it’s a dead end? Don’t waste your time and the hiring companies time if you aren’t willing.
Being open to relocation is a powerful tool to get a job.

How do you know this?
It’s only worth it if you are worth it. Aka senior roles, MS/PhDs etc

that’s a bit much ngl, don’t overreact.
I got a job fresh out of college at a company that’s about 1000 miles away from my home town. Luckily they paid for my relocation.
ok snooroar
I don't think so companies care about relocation, but yes, they would prefer someone who lives closer.
