The search for a job in another city is generally based on the same technology as in the place of residence: monitoring vacancies, mailing resumes, communicating with representatives of the employer. The need for travel for an interview and the associated costs depends on the policy of the potential employer. Most people prefer to meet in person. But at the first contact, Skype is enough for many.

Step 1
When it comes to remote work, the candidate's place of residence may not matter at all. Although it happens otherwise, if the interaction involves regular personal meetings.
In situations where the personal presence of an employee at the workplace is necessary, it makes sense to pay attention, first of all, to vacancies where it is stipulated that candidates wishing to move are considered.
But this is not a reason to ignore other suitable proposals. It is possible that this may not be of fundamental importance for the employer. But most often it is not necessary to rely on compensation for the costs of travel for interviews and relocation to the place of future work, although there are exceptions.
Step 2
Often, job offers in another city can be found in your region: on specialized employment sites, in the relevant sections of local forums, print media, recruiting agencies.
Most of these vacancies are related to blue-collar professions, but there are also offers for specialists with higher education. At the same time, the costs of moving and housing at the place of work (although not acceptable for everyone, if we are talking about a hostel) can be compensated by the employer.
Step 3
The next step in the selection of a candidate, resume, cover letter and examples of work (if applicable) that the employer is interested in, usually becomes an interview. In some cases, it is preceded by a test task, but there may be a reverse sequence. They can do without a test, but usually nothing without an interview.
The ideal option for a job seeker is the willingness of the employer's representative to conduct a video interview using Skype. Such an opportunity is now provided to their users by some job sites. For example, "Rabota.ru".
Step 4
If your potential employer is ready for a remote interview, prepare for it as responsibly as for a face-to-face interview. Take care of the presence of an Internet connection, the presence of a microphone, headphones or speakers, a webcam.
Be in touch at the strictly appointed time. Dress the way you would for a personal meeting, and this also applies to remote work options. It is unlikely that the interlocutor will be pleased to contemplate a person in a T-shirt, pajamas or dressing gown on the monitor.
Otherwise, behave as if you were in a personal business meeting.
Step 5
You can first move to another city and look for an area or the nearest metro station).
But it is worth considering that the search for a job can be delayed, and all this time you need to live somewhere and on something.
Ideal if you have other reasons for moving: family circumstances, admission to school, etc.
