I disagree. Everyone I know (including me) didn't move until after receiving a firm offer or contract. But then again we were all professionals seeking professional employment and relocating and bouncing from one city to another isn't uncommon.

I would somewhat agree with you though if you are talking about entry level work but I'm assuming the OP is looking for something more than that.

Rereading her post, I know more about her situation than posted and she likely would be moving by a certain date to a specific location based on the way I understood things. If that's wrong then disregard.

Not just entry level.
