Hi all,
I contacted a subreddit related to my future home area on reddit.com to ask for advice on job search in the area. A lot of people were really friendly and said I could just contact them if I had questions or if I found an I interesting position on their job's website. It's incredible what online communities can do. So now I have 10-15 people to contact ones I go there and get my EAD approved worth a shot for anyone looking for a job. Good luck!
