As someone who recently moved from one state to another... Hopefully I can help impart some advice for you.

First, a story.... once a upon a time... oo wait wrong story. Misty & I were looking to get the phuck out of California. We looked for a while.... I came close to a position in WA, because my manager almost got a job there. But other than that, I got calls, but no real lov'n.

Misty was then offered a position in Colorado (or one in the unemployment line), so I started focusing on here. I found one with the same company she works for, but as a contractor. So we moved.... the job fell through the contract never signed.

Once I actually lived in Colorado, I got many more interviews, both phone and in person. It's not until after I moved here that employers were serious about me. Took me 3 months once I got here to get a job. And I did have Cert's (Cisco, and ISC(2) - a security one).

So just hang with it. And keep plugging along. I would be happy to help you with your resume, and I can even see if my company has anything out in that direction depending on your skills. (But warning you'll most likely travel with my company).

Also, once you send your resume, if there is a person to call... CALL. There are still a lot of people looking for jobs, so by simply calling you might draw attention to yourself in ways you haven't before.
