How do interviews work in a long-distance job search? I'm a college student who's graduating in June, and I'm planning on moving cross-country soon afterwards. I'd really like to have a job lined up before I move. I don't know much about job searching, but I've always been told that first you send in your resume along with a cover letter requesting an interview. I know how to find openings online and send my resume, but I have no idea how the interview step is supposed to work. As far as I know, my options are: 1. Ask for a phone interview (I could do this, but I think I present myself better in person) 2. Plan on flying over there for interviews sometime before June (I'd have to miss class, so I'd rather not do this) 3. Ask the companies if they'll wait until June to interview me (but like I said, I'd rather get the job before I move) So what should I do? Do companies ever hire people without an interview? Also, should I request one of these options in my cover letter, or just explain my situation and let them say what they want to do?

Do some professional translators also help people with job search in a foreign language? I heard that some translators offer such opportunity and was so surprised by it that I had to look for more sources to confirm it.
