to quote this again that is exactly how it is you don't contact a messenger co or a legal firm and say hey are you going to need a messenger in the spring can I acquire said job now and have everything in the bag you have to move to the city learn where most things are and then be at the messenger companies door steps with a resume and ready to work

yup some of em will take your resume and have you make a run or two to see if your up to it... so line up a different job maybe at night in the city you choose to move too trust me you will need it when working as a messenger there are slow times and having a second job is really nice
