Best way to land a job in another state.
    #19277132 - 12/14/13 11:50 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

So I'm relocating as soon as I find work.  I don't really have a set destination....I've just been scrolling random places on craigslist and looking for work that I'm qualified in.

It seems a lot of states pay almost double for what I do where I'm at. 

I've been sending emails saying I was having family issues and was being forced to relocate to that area, and I was trying to line work up prior to moving.  I attach my resume and explain a little about myself. 


Would attaching a picture help?  The line of work I'm in is face to face.

I assume giving it a couple of days and then calling them would help.


I'm worried a lot of them are going to want me to fly out for an interview before hiring me, and that is the part I struggle with. I don't have the money for multiple round trip tickets that might be in vain.


Ever heard of an out of state job hiring you without doing an interview?  Or possibly skype?  Is it weird to ask for a video interview?

I also worry that not being a current resident of the state I'm applying in might restrict me from working until I am.....

I was wondering the same thing I live in a non medical state and I wish to move to Washington or close to Mendocino county and I'm lost on how to gain employment before becoming a resident! One would assume you could get a job through a franchise and transfer over! But i think Monster.com and other job finding services should use skype to get people employed that would rock!!!:rockon:

I work for a chain right now, and was hoping to do something like that....I just don't know how to approach my boss with " hey can I transfer to colorado or cali....anywhere in either is fine "

My line of work is in high demand, because no one really wants to do it, but I don't mind it at all.

I've sent my resume out to 5 different places I plan on calling on monday, but I don't know what I should say to make it any easier to accomplish.  The fact I have 7 felonies does not help much.....

Nah dude, you don't need to apply to residency for a a state or anything. You just change your license plates after a while. I wouldn't start your cover letters off with the statement that you are having family issues. They want to know what you can do for them, not so much your reason for relocating. In general your cover letter should just describe your strengths and why you want to work for that particular company.

Generally if you interview out of state it is the company that picks up the tab, but if it is not a well-paying job they probably won't bother flying you in. You could suggest a video interview maybe if you get a bite. I don't know about sending a picture though, unless it is embedded in your resume in a Linkedin sort of way. Actually, I think that's a good idea.

If it's the type of work where you can go in and talk to a manager rather than someone in HR, you could always take a road trip and hit up a bunch of companies. Depends how white collar it is probably.

Jesus Christ, that's a lot of felonies. Better just make sure you have something lined up before you quit.

Depending on how hard it is to find work in your field, I would just sell everything and move over in a van. Start applying for work and leave out all those nasty details in your cover letter

CO and WA are both great.

I do night audit at hotels....so it pays in the 15/hr range......It's extremely corporate so they may cover a plane ticket...it all depends...I have a ton of experience doing it.



The job isn't my ultimate career choice, but the amount of hotels in america makes it extremely easy to consider moving, and having work when I get there.


Working midnights at a hotel made me start realizing being in a friendly state, with more accepting people of my lifestyle, would help everything in my life a lot.  Most people here give you the cold shoulder.


Not only that, I'm sick of being anne frank about marijuana here.  I refuse to quit, and I hate cops lol

It's not like those were all seperate incidences.  Only 2.  I fucked up, then got raided after I fucked up and still had shit in my house.


I went 23 years without any charges.....then yes got careless....and got caught with a boat load of drugs after a raid.  All my charges were possession though, no trafficking. I didn't even have a scale at my pad.....all the mushrooms were picked.


Back on topic though!

I found once i moved and had a local area code phone number that I got a way better response than when i was across the country and just planning on moving. Moving without job lined up can be scary prospect but long distance job search is a bitch.

I'm most definitely worried about going to a pot friendly state with a stack of felonies and no job and expecting to snag one fast.  It took me months to find this job while I was unemployed.  I like the idea of getting a colorado phone number.  I could have someone snag me a prepay phone and mail it to me, it does make sense.

Well, Indiana is one of the least pot friendly states in the entire US.

BTW you never answer when I call lol. I got a gift for you, well what you told me you wanted.

My bad nugga.  I was driving through a blizzard when you called earlier and have been sitting at work since.  I can text at work, but only talk every now and then.....depending on how much drunk people are harassing me at that time.
