getting a job in another state?

I had almost a year experience and applied for a FT L&D position in Raleigh, NC. It took a while(like 5-6 weeks?) before I got a phone call for an interview. I applied online and already had my NC license because I knew we wanted to move for sure to the area. I was given the option of a phone or in person interview and I chose to interview over the phone b/c we were leaving for vacation soon and honestly I didn't want to dip into my savings to fly to NC for an interview. I started applying I think in about Feb and we wanted to move after the kids finished the school year in the end of May. I didn't run into any problems, but I do think that most people want to interview you in person b/c they can get a feel for you.

ETA I got my job offer in April and we moved in May after the kids finished school.

I didn't really have much of a problem when I moved for my first job. They did require an in-person interview. I interviewed in another state recently and got that job - they required me to come in and interview. I am about to call them to cancel that position. I am now looking to go to a completely different state again - I have already had my HR interview and phone interview, and they want me to come up for an in-person interview as well. It seems like most places do want to interview you in person, whether you're a long-distance applicant or not.

Thanks for the info! That is helpful. The interviews I had for the PRN work I have now - one was over the phone, and one was in person and literally lasted 10 minutes; both places basically just wanted to know if i could work weekends!
