I'm going to try. But seeing as how it will be a very busy weekend, I can't make any promises. Weekends just seem way to short to fit everything in.
Just after college like most new graduates, I applied for job positions all over the place; including the PA State Department of Natural Resources. They pretty much told me that I had to have an in state residence to even be considered. And, they were very adamant about it too.
I also worked for Baltimore City Parks and Recreation for a while. I had to use a friend’s address (who lived in the city) on my application. They even refused to send my pay checks to an address outside of City.
I guess it just depends on the position and if they are willing to work with you over the details or not. But, I was told in both cases that it was a personnel requirement.
