I will have my AAS in Accounting next may and would like to move to Charlotte, NC to complete my 4-year degree. Being a single mom, I will need to work and have a place to stay before I actually start school. I live 4 hours away from Charlotte, but will need to have a job secured before I actually can move into an apartment there. What is the best way to go about job hunting and interviewing long distance?

You can go to different job search web sites to search for jobs in the area that you are looking for. You can try www.monster.com, www.careerbuilder.com, MSN Job Search, Yahoo Job Search, and www.hotjobs.com. Or you can a local newspaper and look at their job section. You can use Google and find the web site of some local newspaper web site and see if they have any job postings on their web sites. Speaking of Google, maybe you can just search for jobs in Charlotte, NC and see what you will get.

Hi,
The most important thing to remember about job searches is that you should use a combination of methods regardless of your location.
Networking - Register at your local Unemployment Office (you don't need to be on unemployment to register for their assistance). They often will have networking groups on a regular basis. They also are a good source for the jobs that never show up in the paper or online.
Check your local paper -- In many cases the paper's classified are now online.
Search Smart Online -- If you don't have a lot of time, spend most of your time at sites that aggregate the job feeds from several job search engines. Prominently these include indeed.com and thingamajob.com.
Organization -- I use a free online application that allows you to track your ads, jobs you apply for, send or print mail merged correspondence, and track your job search history. This site is jobsearchlog.com and it has been very useful to me, please go and check it out!
Good Luck,
Karen

Not only go to monster.com, but look on the city web site for any employment agency. Most cities do have one.
