You guys, how does one do a job search from across the country? We are looking to relocate to the southeast and I've sent a ton of resumes, asked everyone I know in the area to assist and I've gotten nothing. Someone suggested I change my address on my resume (I could use my parents' address in SC), but isn't that kind of shady? What happens when they want me to come on over for an interview? Sigh.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Work with a recruiter? It might be especially helpful if you're in a specialized field.

Maybe see if there are company names that keep getting listed on relevant job openings?

Theo, you are a v. good friend to a FB friend.
It was raining here, no eclipse for me.
I once got an emial from a school in California for a mom with an Aisan name nothing like mine. I think that was a crossed wire somewhere. Otherwise I think I am the only one of me, besides a distant cousin who has a different married name now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Glamcookie, I would make sure to always say you are planning to relocate to X, at least. Although, I've always ended up moving first and then getting a job, which isn't ideal...
So I knew my mother had invited some relatives for dinner this weekend. I thought it was Saturday, so I rescheduled my massage appointment. Turns out it's Sunday, which is too bad because I could have used that massage! Then she just tells me, they're going to want to see my apartment, so I should have hors d'oeuvres down here before dinner. And "I can serve whatever I want." Oh OK. So I guess I'm making (slash buying at TJ's) hors d'ouevres. And drinks. Good to know!

I'm glad the crisis tonight was averted.
Today was served with a huge side of schadenfreude.

I've been putting "planning to move back to" on my cover letters for distant job openings. And I've gotten a few interviews, if no offers so far, in the target region. It's worth a shot.

Oh, my mom's hernia surgery on the eve of her 70th went well. They had to open her up (vs lapro) but she was feeling well enough to email all of us and bitch about prune juice. Feeling good and looking good (dad sent pictures from recovery and she's giving him A Look.)
Sobering to realize she has her guts cut open and she's gonna be 70 tomorrow!
