-if they ask, just tell them you relocated for better career opportunities and that you love the area...
-when you apply for jobs they are worried about the complications from moving and time....Just make sure your employer knows if you do divulge that your out of town, that you will relocate at your own expense and be avialble in 2-3 weeks which is the typical time for a newhire to start working....

thanks, I always say that, I can start in two weeks. I never say that I need anymore than that. I'll just get a cheap motel room in a suburb and drive in if needed. Of course then I'd have to keep my car but I never ask for relocation expenses and frankly I would just figure it out when I got there. Thats how eager I am. The p. o box is a great idea.
My friend has family there, when we go visit, I'll offer them a few bucks just to use their address on the resume. I won't use it for any other reason. Or better yet, just change one number on their address and use it without their permission. I won't be sending or receiving mail there. Hate to be dishonest but why even ask?? Just change a number. Gotta do what I gotta do.
Anyway, these are all great ideas everyone. Just gotta get there. NOW!!
