What is the best way to apply for a job in another state? ?

Question

I am moving to Wichita, KS from southern Oklahoma. I do go to Wichita somewhat often but usually on the weekend only. I am trying to apply online but wonder if it will be better to just take resumes to places where I'd like to work. Have you done this successfully? Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Contact each company you're interested in and follow their guidelines. Some prefer in-person applications, while others want on-line apps only. Whichever one you do, just be sure they are free of all errors and look professional no matter what type of job you're interested in. First impressions really do matter.

And always follow up an application with a phone call after a week.
