Finding Work In A New Place? (applying, degree, jobs, money)

[Setchel]

So I want to move out to another state. Going to be a fresh grad with a crisp bachelor's degree in accounting in my hand in about 8 months.
I have zero contacts or connections where I want to go.

So I'm not going to act like I know how to go about this the best way. Any suggestions? What would you do?

start applying for jobs where you want to work; have a plan to get a local job if you don't get any bites quickly.. that way you can save up money and at least have real world experience.

also- plan on not making much; fresh out of college with no experience is not going to be fun. Also, have funds saved up for relocation - ballpark around 5k.
