How to get a job out of state?
Run as fast as the wind can take you. Kidding aside I love Texas too but it gets same old same old. Especially San Antonio. There is nothing to do. I left for school in London, but am now planning to transfer to graduate school in the States. I definitely don't want to stay in Texas. But I'm the opposite I like New England/NYC. Transferring to a school though is easier than having to relocate and find a job. If I were you I'd start on Craigslist or monster, and find a job. It will be easier to move when you know you have the security of income coming in. Lukily most jobs list online so all you have to do is look in that city. Or maybe visit Seattle, Oregon or wherever for a week and go job hunting. Once you have the job squared away it will be cake from there. You can look around at rentals and start planning out your budget. Food and all that isn't really going to change from one state to another so you can pretty much guess how much your cost of living will be. Make sure you have enough for that because you probably won't have a first paycheck before the deposit and all that is due. I would stay out of California though. Not only are taxes higher but gas and housing, it's not a great place when you're not secure yet. I would check out some of those articles on MSN, "the cheapest cities to live in" and figure out what cities in that area of the States is going to be a good starting off point. You really need to get the location and the job sorted first before you can think about a move seriously. My aunt moved from SA to Seattle and she did pretty well but ended coming back home. She loved Seattle but she couldn't make it I guess. But I don't think she had a well paying job (she didn't graduate hs). Your degree should get you a good head start. Also see if your Uni has career placement. You'll be able to find a job from them since they'll have listings of companies that are hiring people fresh out of school. Good luck!
How to get a job in another state?
I live in New Jersey and there are some jobs I want in New York and even though I have all the experience necessary they won't hire me because I live out of state. I don't have friends I can stay with there and I can't afford to move there. What can I do?
Can I get a job with a warrant out in another state?
Okay, i got a PI ticket (Public intoxication), this past summer in Oklahoma. I didn't pay it in time so now I have a warrant out. I haven't been able to get a job to payit off because when they do a background check, it shows i have a warrant. I just moved with my brother in Arkansas. I need a job to pay this warrant. Will places in Arkansas not hire me because i have a warrant in Oklahoma? If so, how will i ever pay my ticket????
What does it take to get a job with the State Department?
Depends on what you want to do. If you're doing computer/law/technical work, you should be able to find something. Frankly, I don't know too much about finding non-policy work in DC. If you want to do policy work at State, you almost have to be an FSO (foreign service officer) or political appointee. Most of the civil servant jobs are given to PMFs...so start applying for the presidential management fellowship. You can also try to find out who their contractors are (for example, Diplomatic Security uses a lot of contractors). Being a contractor is a great way to wiggle your way into becoming a federal employee. Please note that if you're graduating from undergrad, rather than grad school, you probably won't get any offers. Not because you aren't good, but because of the competition--many people with masters degrees and previous work experience also want those jobs. If you want to do foreign policy and have at least a masters, there's a lot of different agencies you can look at--Dept. of Energy; Dept. of Defense, all the different intelligence agencies, Dept. of Commerce, Dept. of Homeland Security, USAID, even Dept. of Agriculture. My advice is to cast your nets wide, and not limit yourself to getting the "dream job" right out of school. Come to DC, get any job in a field you're interested in, and network like crazy.
