My BF and I are moving to Albany in a few months, as I've posted. Moneys' tight, and we don't drive. Are there companies that do job interviews over the phone? Or should we just set a few bucks aside and go up there for a few days? Get our names out there, apply to jobs. Maybe get interviews then, or set something up for the week we move-in...
Richs' job couldn't transfer, he works where we live. He just finished up training to get a computer job, it taught a little bit of everything. I'd be looking for something PT, to start.
I would really appreciate any and all advice, as this is such a huge move! 8-)
Definitely find jobs here before you move! Not many places do only phone interviews. And a lot of places won't even do an interview if you don't have a local phone number. Think about getting a Trac phone with a 518 area code number. That phone is dirt cheap. I've heard of a lot of people doing that so it looks like they are local. It has helped a few people.
What kind of work are you both looking for? The computer/technology field is huge. If you let us know what you're looking for for work, we may be able to help with some pointers.
Oh that is a great idea about the phone; I'll have to remember that.
