Honestly just a question I couldn't get an answer for online

Entirely depends on the jobs you are applying for and what you have a degree in.

However, in general, if i were choosing between two individuals of equivalent qualifications: one in state and one 5 minutes away i would easily choose the person already in town as they have a higher chance of being stable, having lived here already.

I wasted four years getting a BA in English, so it's only for the limited pool where that works

Still good to know, though. I'll focus more on areas around here and deal with being around my parents for more time, or take advantage of having friends that can refer me

since its all entry level stuff i would say yes they will likely be less receptive.

that said i just did the same thing a couple months ago. went through a temp agency and set up a job before i moved, then quit that job for a better one pretty quickly.

If I wanted to move to a city to be with friends, would you recommend going through a temp agency there?

definitely couldnt hurt. they basically do the work of finding a job for you as long as you have some skills that fit what they have.

this may not be the case for you, but the agency i went through wanted proof of local address before they would give me a job. so if you're really serious you might need to find a place to live too.

if your friends will let you crash you can go look for places and visit whatever agency you work with til its all sorted out.

Yeah and you should certainly always look for work everywhere, but mostly i meant it as food for thought to your question.
