Hello,
I'm going to move to another state next month and I'm going to apply for some IT jobs there. So I was wondering should I put on my resume address like (San Fransisco,CA) since I dont know yet where I'm going to stay, or do I have to make up an address ?

I have heard of people putting the address of someone they know where they will be moving to and then letting HR know they have changed address when they have found a place of their own. -

I tried it but wouldn't work for me, I got no phone calls back or emails with "sorry we are looking for locals." I even put in my cover letter that I will be there on (the date I will be there). -

This is what I did when I was trying to move to the city. It was difficult enough to score an interview; I won't disadvantage myself over mere location.
