Posts: 11263 (08/13/2009 9:24 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	So I just finished up an internship in Philly and am looking for another job (asap..need money). The job market in this city is so shitty compared to several semi closeby cities (mainly new york and boston). I'm trying to apply for jobs in these other cities and I'm sure my chances would be much higher if I pretended that I lived there...don't have any trouble with Boston since I went to college there but I'm not extremely familiar with new york. I've been there pretty often since it's only 2 hours away...but I am just really not sure what type of address would be believable for someone who graduated pretty recently. ...any thoughts?

Employers definitely give preference to people who actually live in the city or close(er) to the city where the job is. Even if someone says they are going to relocate, that's a bigger obstacle to over come than someone who already lives there. Things could go wrong with the move; the person moving might not get approved for the apartment, they might end up not having enough $$ to move, etc. etc.

I don't care where you live, lying on any job application isn't going to get you a job. Companies do credit searches first and will see it's not an address you've ever had on anything. But heck....go ahead I guess.
