How to get around without money. I didn't know anyone in Atlanta, so I started calling companies and filling out applications everywhere. Even though I was broke at first, taking a chance and moving helped me get into the strongest financial situation I am in now. Whenever someone asked me during an interview how long I had been in New York, I would usually say that I had moved a few weeks ago and was excited to start looking for a job in the city.
It takes time for companies to complete each round of interviews, decide on a candidate, process paperwork, and prepare for a new hire to start working. In fact, my desire to move to a new city is what caused the financial epiphany that motivated me to put my own personal finances in order and eventually start this blog.
