I had a similar problem back when I was in school on the west coast, and looking to interview with companies on the east coast.
One big thing is to make sure in your cover letter you are very explicit about your intentions to move to the location you are applying. if you don't, it's very easy for hiring managers to assume you just spammed your resume to every job listing you found online that met a certain set of requirements without checking thel ocation (or it may make them assume they didnt' specify the location properly when they posted the location online)
The other thing I found that helped, was to plan a trip out to the city i was interested in moving to several weeks in advance, and then when applying for jobs, mention that i would be in town looking for a new apartment between dateA and dateB and if they were interested in interviewing me in person between those dates, it could be aranged.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
