No. Get the job first, then relocate. Make sure you put on your resume that you are willing to relocate.
You have to get your application/resume in front of the right people. offers a database of thousands of recruiters and headhunters that get paid if they fill positions with good people. The site also includes great job finding software.
Once they find you a job, then you move to that area.
You’ll be happy you checked it out when you are working at a new job in a few weeks.
You don’t necessarily have to relocate before appplying for jobs in other states. I would recommend removing your address from your resume and just have your phone number and email address. That way you are more likely to get a phones calls for interviews. Â
