depending on what city you target, if you dont have a local address you can always just make one up but make sure the address matches the zip by looking it up. an employer will never look up the address of a potential candidate. even if you think they will, just put one just outside of the city like Long Island for NYC or Oakland or Emeryville for SF or Danvers for Boston. As long as they see that your close then they dont care. Your main goal is to get the employer on the phone and then you can explain that, thats where you WILL be living b/c you are moving there anyways. They dont know the difference. What you are trying to accomplish is very hard but Im living proof that it is possible. what cities are you targeting and what are of work are you looking for? |

Making up a local address sounds like a great idea.
Now how about the out of town phone # listed on your resume? Wouldn't it be a dead giveaway to the employer that you are a wannabe local?
I'm targeting all the major cities in the US like Chicago, Seattle, Atlanta, etc. I'm a liberal arts major with some work experience in financial services and IT consulting industries. I'm looking for non-specialist, entry-level jobs (fresh grad to 1-3 years of work experience). Any advice? Thanks!
