Congratulations to you on your new job, and best wishes!
I did want to comment on the advice given on that website. I feel it is very, very bad.. and will all but guarantee you won't get the job. You have to understand that a huge portion of companies (even smaller companies) pay outside agencies to perform a background check on prospective employees. If you are found to have lied on your resume-- and that includes giving a false address, you will be disqualified from the job.
And in the remote chance you were able to get away with it, and got hired-- you'll eventually slip. You can forget any further promotions. Nobody wants people in their employ who lie about where they live. It will make them wonder what else they lie about.
Honesty is always the best policy. Just say, "I'm anxious to relocate".
HDPhiMu-- do you have a link to that discussion? I'm interested in seeing who that individual is and exactly what they had to say on the topic. I'm quite surprised to hear of an employment expert telling people to be deceptive.
