Is your education and work experience relevant to the jobs you are applying to?

Yes! Some are even below my education level.

I have a bachelors in accounting with experience in health care, customer service, accounting. I need anything with a decent pay.

This is a very difficult job market to find work in with at least several applicants for every living wage (or above) job. Unless in a truly high demand occupation like health care/nursing or engineering for example finding a job from out of state is next to impossible, which is why it's highly advised that you have significant savings to get by on while job hunting once here.

I would just settle for a lower-end job for now until you're established in the area and able to make some connections. Without knowing anyone locally who you can use as good references, finding a good job will be very hard.

(What happened to your Geico offer?)

I felt the long commute wasn’t worth the salary. My plan is to purchase a home and I can’t survive on that low offer.

You should contact them, not just look at their listings.


Good luck!
