    The address works!

    Well, having a local address works. Both recruiters have asked me if I was in Dallas or NY. The second one said "Oh ok, so you do already have a place to live" as if to say "Good, because if you didn't we wouldn't be talking". Even after that, he grilled me about how quickly I could be ready to go, to which I replied that I was already packed and was even staying in an extended-stay hotel until I found a job.

    Needless to say, I'm glad I got a NY address to put on my resume!

    Did you tell him you were in NY or Dallas?

    Hi Will!
    I let him know that I'm currently in Dallas, but ready to fly to NY at the drop of a hat. So far, (four recruiters in), that hasn't been a showstopper.

    Thanks for the great tip. I have been flown up for an interview a couple of times, but didnt get the te position. At any rate I am motivated since they bit the bate even though I am currently on the west coast. I think I can get a job fairly quickly if I am there especially.

    Your website has truly been an inspiration for me with so much information. I will be in NYC by May 8!
