Do you have friends in other cities? That’s how a friend of mine found a job in another state. She was recommended for a job.

I would go ahead and interview. It will be a good experience regardless. Perhaps you’ll improve your prospects with this position if you get it.

The muse has 31 most common interview questions that really helped me prepare.

I’ve had similar thoughts about moving. I live in a nice place, but this area isn’t a hub for the type of work I do. I am lucky to have the job I do. It was incredible that this job even opened up right when I was laid off from my last company (it is going out of business). The pay is great. It is a high level job than I had before. But if something happens, I might have to move. I’ve seen others in my line of work move away.

I thought about just moving when I was laid off, but this job landed on me.

I’m much more marketable now. Two companies have already tried to poach me—one here locally, and one in San Francisco.

Good luck to you.
