hey guys, first off sorry i know the significant other discussions have been beaten to death, but hey at least they're usually interesting to read!
okay so after doing some searches i think my question is takes a different spin on things. me and my gf have been discussing our plans if i get into medical school (i'm from CA, and not looking so hot w/ CA schools... got no love for us, bah). as of right now the chances of me getting accepted are probably on the east coast (NY or DC), but anyways this question pertains to your SO finding a job when relocating with you.
practically speaking, if you get into an MD Program, the other should uproot and move out (if relocation was already agreed upon). impractically speaking, your SO does have to find a job in the region, and also in this current economy. with that said, she's thinking of moving w/ me right now, but also that it will be difficult to find a job. her major is econ/management and she's had several internships and etc, so i believe she's a relatively competitive candidate.
however, is there any way to search for companies and jobs in the area you're moving to? this can work, but it is going to be tremendously easier if there's that security of a job. for those that had gone through a similar process, how have your SO searched for jobs in a place you've never really been to? what are some of the strategies/tactics you've employed? share the knowledge! thanks ahead of time
*update*
thanks guys! lots of good resources and info in this thread. so here's actually another question that might also address some issues of other people... (see post 14 below). basically, how would you professionally address to companies in cover letters (or should you even..) that you would be interested in more than one location given the variable nature of med school acceptances.
