I have not to long ago. I was in California and was moving back to the east coast. I applied for a job so I could have something lined up when I got there. I had the qualifications but never even received a phone call or anything. I guess they have enough applications from the local area for them not to worry about someone from out of state. Especially if you are looking for relocation allowance.

When I lived in Virginia, I went through the process for the Houston (TX) Fire Department. No major issues, but then again, they put an ad in JEMS, so I think they knew what they were getting into.

Five years, and one baby, later I went through the process for Fairfax County (VA) from Houston. Again, no major issues, but they were hungry for Paramedics, so they worked with me a bit.
