Although I didn't have a job lined up, I did resear ch before I got here. For example, I had my friend send me the local paper's help wanted ads a couple of times, and then I used the Web to look for jobs. The Austin American Statesman is a good website - it has links to everything in Austin. A. I temped. Working as a temporary employee is a great way to go when relocating.
Every city has temp agencies that offer assignments ranging from one day to several months.
Temp jobs can often lead to full-time job offers, too. I highly recommend it. When I first got here, I temped for the University of Texas, doing administrative work. It was great - I met some nice people and it kept me from being bored and going crazy. A little, I guess.
