When applying to jobs in a different city, do you think it works against you to put your current location on your resume? I'm also trying the networking route since I don't know anyone in my target cities, but not having much luck.

A decade ago when I wanted to switch cities, I acted like I was in said city. Got a Google voice number with that area code, and did interviews like I was local. It did work—I ended up getting a job in the city I wanted! They were very confused in the final round when I asked to start in a month vs 2 weeks because I needed time to move 😂

You could also use a PO Box

Putting NYC-based on my resume has actually helped a lot. Finally getting a return on what I pay for to live here 😂

Anyone in downtown bk or Williamsburg wants to join our board game group?

We are currently a group of 3, but one person is moving to west coast soon, which reduces our board game options and complexity!

We tend to hangout with limited groups of friends and meet up at least every other week. So ideally just want to find 1-2 more like-minded people to join us.

If you are interested, please leave a comment with what are your top 3 board games and a description of your personality :)
