I have to ask…
How do you move out of state?
Serious question.
If you have a job where you live, but decide you want to move somewhere else, do you just move… and then hope you find a job sooner or later?
Do you start applying to jobs in that state hoping you’ll actually be contacted? Finding a job in your own state may be hard enough (or getting a response back from your application/cover letter/resume/etc). I can only imagine being out of state you would be passed over. But then, say you do get contacted. Do you fly out 2-3 times for interviews (out of pocket, I don’t think employers reimburse for that kind of stuff anymore). Unless you have a specialized skill, or a profession that is in need, I just don’t see this happening.
Thoughts?

I have a friend that moved from Oregon to Wisconsin (she moved back home, now wants to return to Oregon).
She got a job in Wisconsin before she moved. She had several phone interviews.

So, she got a job offer through phone interviews? What field was she in? How recent?
I’m curious, as I kind of feel stuck in my state. I’m 26, worked for the same job for 3 and a half years, but a promotion in 2011. While my ‘career’ kind of just started, my experience probably isn’t enough to make me in high demand anywhere else.
I am not in a ‘rush’ to move so to speak, but it is something I would like to do.
