What are some of the best ways to set yourself up for success when you IST (Interstate Transfer) to another state?

I currently am transferring to TNARNG and am having a hard time finding a job because a lot of places want an in person interview. I'm coming off of ADOS in my home state and would love to continue ADOS or even better an AGR job. Is there a way I can find some of these jobs or track them? I landed the ADOS spot i'm in through connections, but being 2000 miles away and not having connections, I am struggling. Also upon arrival to my new unit as a 2LT in TN could I get some advice on what will help me advance my career now that I've commissioned? I branched AG 42A. Hoping it will help me find a good place with my civilian career.

Thanks for your input ahead of time.

These two have some good insight on the process as junior officers in the Guard. Perhaps they can help. cc: CPT Private RallyPoint Member CPT Laurie H..

1LT Private RallyPoint Member - What area are you looking at moving into and what type of employment are you wanting? I might know some people.
