Arizona!

I love all this information. Thanks so much! So far, nothing has really turned me off, which I guess is a good thing.

I will admit that I am a bit nervous about the prospect. I've never moved out of state before, and I don't know the first thing about packing up and moving cross country. I'm also a worrier and don't believe that we could afford to just up and move without at least one of us having a job secured, but how many places will want to hire someone who is moving across the country? And my law firm isn't likely to open a Phoenix office, so a transfer isn't an option.

This was my first move out of state too, and I was so nervous! We had a one year old at the time, which made for so much more work. Fortunately for me, my company does have a Phx office and allowed me to transfer. DH was another story and had to find a new job when he got here. It took less than a month at the time.

There are companies that will hire someone moving across the country, and some may even pay your moving expenses for you! Though this is probably less likely in the current economy. My sister graduated nursing school in 2006, applied for jobs online, and the hospital that hired her paid her moving expenses.

If you are serious about moving, start looking around websites like Monster and Career Builder and check out AZCentral.com. Good luck!
