How to do a job hunt...

...when you live 400+ miles away. And you don't have a sense of where places are. You see job listings for the 'greater region', but have no idea whether that means the place is going to be a short 20 minute drive, or a long 2 hour drive.

I got my first semi-bite, and, while it could be a great experience, I looked where it is on the map. Its not mass-transit-able. Theoretically I could take the train all the way to Boston then switch to another commuter rail and take that back out. On the other hand, it'd be working for a start up again, this time as a much more senior person (CTO type). Of course, with it being a start up, I have my list of 1,000,001 questions that need to be answered to my satisfaction. Things like funding. Business plan. Growth rate. etc.

I applied to a number of other jobs, and, I'm really thinking about going to a recruiter. The type of work I want to do is specialized, but, it can exist anywhere. Which is why the online search engines don't help me very much. I can usually only pick a few areas to search in. Or everything. And not the dozen or two that would reflect what I'm looking for.

Or I could start my own company. Again.....

I'm giving the job search about 2 months from down here, and then I'll move up so that I can actually be with DH.
