I've often wondered if applying to jobs in different locations can be good or bad. Good in the sense it gives me more potential options, but bad because I find a lot of employers might screen me out right away just based on location, even though I am willing to relocate. Any thoughts on this?

I never had any luck applying outside of a 20-mile radius. I'm pretty sure they just assumed that I wouldn't relocate, even if I would. I even wrote on my cover letter that I'm open to relocation, and still crickets. There are so many people looking for jobs right now, I'm sure they don't want to deal with waiting for somebody to move all the way just to get started.

Never had an issue because I don't include my city or state on my resume and my LinkedIn is private.

I wouldn't include your location on your resume either. They might still be able to find it, but you could include on your cover letter that you're open to relocation. You could also consider removing your location from LinkedIn too

Thanks for the tips. Yea I've tried just putting that I'm open to relocating in a cover letter, and I've always tried to emphasize that I've gamed this out a bit and have a plan to move so it doesn't take to long but we'll see.
