Applying for jobs in a new city

Told you this in chat, but for others' sakes, I highly recommend seeing if a Google Voice number with a local or near-local area code is available in the area you're looking at.

I don't think this is a very good suggestion unless your main reason for doing this is to save the prospective employer long distance fees. She should put down the number that is most accessible to her. Being from Detroit I know so many people who ended up having to relocated all over the country for work and none of them have ever complained about being cut because they lived in a different city at the time of the application.

You can forward Google Voice numbers to whatever phone you use most, and therefore is most accessible
