Someone told me that before I decide to move to another state I had best secure a job there before I move. Is this possible? Can you interview for a job before you meet the people you'll be working for in person? If so, are there any specific sites I can look at that list employers who do online interviews? Or do I have this scenario wrong and you cannot secure yourself a job in another state until you are actually there (because I'm not talking about just an application but a real interview)?
Sorry if this is loaded. Thank you!

It is possible to secure a job located in another state, but they usually do telephone interviews.
May I share some interview suggestions?
Sometimes it really is the person who give the best interview who wins the job. If an interviewee can't tell them how it is they are qualified for the job, they will probably hire someone who can.
I find that if I save a copy of the job description, learn it, and can offer a couple of examples of how I've gained or used each job skill they put in the job description, it really helps in an interview.
It also helps to learn about the company from looking and reading through the website, so that when the interviewer is telling you about it, you can offer your observations or ask and intelligent question or two.
I also found a list of common interview questions in which most of them will be asked. Thinking about how to each question in terms of the job I'm applying for also helps

There are specific things that they expect in an interview, and it tells you what kind of information they are looking for in some of the questions.
Good luck!

Interviews from a distance would usually be by phone, and they'd usually do an in-person interview before actually extending an offer. If it's for a reasonably high paying job, they will usually pay your expenses for the interview trip.

Miss, I don't know who told you that but if I was the recruiter,I want to meet an applicant face to face,NOT online. It would have helped if you had stated what state you were moving to.
