In Reply To: 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!
Message: think about it man, how many people do you know that actually have a cell # area code that is the same city as they live in? I had a 614 in a 415 for a month. I work in SF and I may be one of the only people in my office with a 415 (SF)home area code. Even with that I had an option to take an outside SF area code. You have got to think a little more logically. All your logistics should be the easiest of your probs. BTW I work in finance in the financial dist in SF and my office is looking to hire a few more people. If you're interested you can email me at foltz79@yahoo.com Any other questions about relocation also.
