Another employment rejection.

[alarimer]

48. Are you willing/able to move?

Possibly there might be opportunities elsewhere.

I've run in to this time and again in my field (which is, admittedly, not a very big one and pretty specialized, to boot, so the advice may not hold in other fields). It is no guarantee of anything, though. Sometimes (and this is my experience) you take a job in another state, at a higher salary, only to end up taking home less because of taxes and whatnot. And of course, local cost of living is an important consideration. $45,000 in San Francisco or Washington, DC does not go far enough to even buy food for most people.

And of course, your personal situation may mean moving is not an option. But I have always counseled some of my younger technicians right out of college that moving is a necessity in order to advance, given the limited positions in our field.
