Ideally would be for you to find a job first before you start packing. Unless you're financially secured for at least 6 months.What is some good advice if you are trying to get a job in a different city?
Some people take a week's vacation from work and go to the city they plan next to work in and apply at different companies. You can also send out your resume or do that online. Some places use handwriting analysis as a tool and others use the internet to make initial decisions as to if they want to interview you in person or not. Others call you in for testing. Still others want you to apply on their computers.





I would not waste a lot of time sending out resumes. Go to the city's agencies and ask what's available, or look in the Wall Street Journal or their WSJ employment website. Or apply at places for weekend or evening work and work while you look. When you go to a city you can get a postal box at several places immediately (if you have the cash) so you'll have a physical address. Otherwise go to work in a city where you already have relatives there and ask if you can use their address till you get settled. Or ask if you can hole up in their home for a couple of weeks till you get work and a place to live. Of course, pay your relatives for your stay and food.
shift first then look for a job.
