I agree with the PO Box idea, though if that's not an option, make sure that you include a cover letter with  your resume explaining the situation and clearly stating your day of arrival in town.  Also, don't wait for them to call.  Give the letter/resume a week or so to get there and then YOU make the call.\n\nGood luck.

Do research on EACH company you apply to,know the names of the hiring people, president, VP, etc. of company, know exactly what they do, what they are looking for, and tell them quickly how you will be a great asset to them. Keep all this to less than one page. Your resume should reflect ONLY what your experience has been with respect to what that company is looking for. If you demonstrate that you have gone this distance to get the job, you will have shown them you will go the distance if you get the job. That separates the boys from the men.

Go to your bookstore and find a resume book in the business/career section. You can also find examples and templates online if you do a search.\n\nIf you have less than 10 years of experience, you want your resume to be one page. Generally, clearly show your name, mailing address, email address if available, and best phone number(s) to contact you.\n\nThen show your education, work experience, any interests, achievements, and skill sets. Under your work experience, it is not a list of your job descriptions (this is a common mistake). You should instead indicate what you have accomplished and the results. Also, try not to use technical words and jargons. Do not abbreviate.\n\nBelow are some sample resumes for your reference.\n\nhttp://www.resume-resource.com/samples.h...\n\nGood luck and have a nice day.

Go to \n\nwww.monsters.com\n\nIt's a great website\n\nPost your resume on there too, because sometimes jobs aren't posted, but the employers are looking for resumes.\n\nGood luck!

www.monster.com sometimes www.craigslist.org\nThe best way to find a job is to get out the yellow pages and find places you would like to work. Call them up and ask if you can fax over your resume and to who's attention or ask if they are hiring and can you come in for an interview. Make sure the resume is very specific about what you are looking for.  If it's vague the resume goes into the garbage. Only 10% of the job openings ever make it to the ad s. 70% of jobs are filled through someone you know-your mother's cousin or whoever.

Everything I've read and heard says that you actually have to move first, then look for a job. Employers see that out of town address and are less inclined to want to handle the expense and inconvenience of scheduling interviews and relocation costs. Also, no matter how many jobs the job boards advertise, many are filled by the time they receive your resume. Here's my suggestions:\n\n1. If you know someone, be it close friend or relative or former college roommate that already lives down there, use their address on your resume and cover letter. Use a service that allows you to have voicemail with a Georgia area code.\n2. Temp or sub after you quit so that you have enough earnings to apply for Georgia unemployment. You may or not be eligible for unemployment from the job you quit because it depends on why you're resigning/relocating. Check if CA's unemployment application is online and find out valid reasons for receiving unemployment if you resign.\n3. Whatever jobs strike your fancy that you do see on the job boards, take the time to call both the HR person to see if it's been filled already and, if not, find out who is the actual supervisor and have a conversation with them. That saves so much time and money.\n4. Take advantage of cheap airfare and schedule some time to actually go to Georgia. First stop should be temp agencies in your field so you can both get your feet wet and have some income while you seek full-time employment. Next stop should be job fairs because then you can see several employers at once.\n5. In the interim, find out about legit work from home opportunities you can engage in. The advantage of these is that they, unlike some temp jobs, are mobile, provide income and the flexibility you need to go job hunting.\n6. Check w/ Georgia's Dept. of Labor to find out the One Stop Career Center near where you are trying to move.\n7. Check w/ college's career centers. In addition to colleges themselves being a potential employer, they have career centers that specialize in helping find jobs after graduation. Many of these people came from other states and countries and decided to make Georgia their home. Plus, colleges are very well-connected with local businesses.\n8. Join some message boards that are comprised of people from Georgia. This can include your college or other alumni boards. Ask them directly what jobs are available at their organizations. They would be the best leads on actual vacancies. Plus, you'll feel like you already have people you know before you get down there.\n9. If you feel comfortable using the services of headhunters, that may help. In my experience, though, they're usually looking for people at the executive level and their services cost.\n\nIt's a lot to do, but it is much more of a challenge to look for something out of state than in your own area. Good luck and keep your head up!

Your odds of receiving a job just replying to classifieds are poor. The odds of only using company websites are even worse. Your not kissing up to people by getting to know them and asking about thier company. Talk to people you know, and ask to be introduced to people they know. Have 3 or 4 good questions to ask about a company, this will help you build a relationship with them. Your resume cannot say nearly as much about you as you can by knowing someone. Would you rather higher a stranger that seems qualified on paper, or someone similar that you know you can trust? Also, send out as many mailings as you can, they're cheap, you might get lucky.

A resume is like a report of sorts. you can google and find some samples I'm sure. I don't think they do cover sheets anymore but, you usually start with facts about yourself. Full name: .......Birthdate:..... Address:.......Phone 3:....... Then your education should be next. Graduated from:  school name and year.\nThen you start with a general description of your work experience. It can be in Date form most current to the first.  LIKE: From. April 05 to Jan.06:  insert the job you did and under that a brief decsription of the job and then a contact person name, address and phone number.\nOnce the jobs are listed Write a letter of sorts describing yourvgoals, any extra things you did like any clubs or volunteering or any sports or anything you did. Any hobbies and interests and make it gear towards the job you are trying to get. \nIt's really information. Then last you put any work and personal references  names and addresses and phone numbers. Then call the people you put down and ask them to be looking for a call. don't let them be caught off guard. With caller ID a lot of people don't pick up if they don't know the name.\nIt is really just information. \nI think simple and to the point is best Start at the left margin and do the first page. Job experience, and references and then do the same \n with the intro letter, Thank them for their time before closing the letter and end with Sincerely, your name and sigh it. Put your contact number and address there also.\n good luck. If you have microsoft office or works, I think it has a format for resume on there. Just use what applys to you. Leave the rest. Too much info is not always good. Make sure everything looks good. Check all spelling and phone numbers. Have someone else look at it. Good luck.
