Should i apply for jobs now before relocating?

I am relocating, but my problem is that I am applying for state jobs. I have put in for over 8 positions, teste

  • and passed with high scores, however I am being told that I will go at the bottom of the list regardless of my score because I am out of state. They are suppose to go by the Merit system which means by the test score. Does anyone know if they can skip over me because I live out of state?

  • Answer:

    Yes, they can. State jobs go to state residents.

Yes, it's the merit system for state residents, which means they'll select them before they select an out of state interloper.

Move into the state, get a different or temporary job, and then apply to the state again after you've established suitable residency. I would guess that they can skip over you, if that's what they are telling you--most state governments are highly regulated and it wouldn't surprise me that in the current unemployment and economic situation in the country that they are hiring their residents first.

Poppet!

Thanks!
