As a result of insufficient jobs many job seekers apply for jobs advertised for places outside their current location without giving consideration to certain logistical issues.

If a job is advertised for residents of a particular state outside your present location here are questions and issues to consider before sending in your application to ensure that you aren’t just wasting your time;

Will the Company Post You to a Branch in the City Where You Live?

Before you apply find out if the company has a branch office in the city where you live and if they will be willing to post you to the branch in your city. This is important if you need to stay in your present location. If the company needs only staff for that particular state then there is no need wasting your time to apply unless you are ready to relocate.

Will the Company Help You Relocate
If you are willing to move to the new state when offered the job you have to also know if the company is ready to help you relocate to the new location. Most times when a company specifies that it needs workers in a particular location they do not bother themselves with taking up the logistics of relocating those successful workers. ,
