I am curious as to people's thoughts/experiences on using alternative addresses when applying for jobs not in their region.
Ex. You live in Calgary and are applying for jobs in BC.
I don't mean just making up an address in the city you are applying, but rather using friends/family addresses in the city you are applying - if possible.
I feel like by having an AB address and applying in BC you won't get far with HR because they might assume since you have no connection or roots in the region you wont stay long, or that you are looking for a band aid job until oil recovers.
Thoughts?
