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?

Usually it's picked up by the interviewing company, if they're shopping for out-of-state job applicants...

Yeah, when Adrienne is courted for a job by people from away, they pick up the tab.

If they're not going to pick up the tab, they expect the applicant to do it and aren't particularly looking for applicants outside their area.

I think the answer to your question is that, largely, unless they're paying, most people *don't* go to interviews in distant locations unless they're fairly certain they're getting the job or they've got a lot of money.
