What we have here...

My last entry, it seems, was not entirely clear about my primary dilemma.

I would like to relocate. I would LOVE to relocate! "To go where the jobs are" is my goal!

I do not understand the process involved in getting a job outside of one's local area. To reiterate:

I don't have the resources to shell out on a plane ticket for a "MAYBE".

How does someone with no job make it to an interview that's in another state?

Have you spoken with the university where you graduated, to see if they have any contacts in the industry that you can contact for information? There may be "hiring fairs" being held where out-of-town companies are sending representatives. Aside from that, checking for out-of-town/state employers on employment websites (both global and per company) and calling them to see what their policy on out-of-town interviewees is.
