How do you go about job hunting when you're moving to a new place? I might be moving to Manchester in september. The way I see it, there won't be many jobs advertised now that are starting in september, so obviously I'll have to wait closer to the time. But then I don't want to move there if I've got no job to move to. Do I just join a job agency or something that can get me temp work, til I can get a proper job or what? Any advice would be appreciated.
ETA: Also, it'd be a bit of a pain in the arse (not to mention expensive) to be going back and forth for interviews and stuff.

The great thing about living with parents is that it's cheap, and my parents will always be willing to let me live for nothing if something came up that would really help my career. But the bad thing is that they live in the middle of nowhere, so there's no work around here. The other thing is that I will undoubtably need a car, which just makes it even more expensive. I don't have much of a clue as to how much it costs to run a car but I imagine it's not cheap (I'll be paying about a grand for insurance for a start).
I'm moving to manchester to help my career first and foremost, and there no point in going if I'll be spending all my time earning money just to live, I might as well stay at home. Might go for one of those graduate jobs, because unlike all the people graduating this year, I'll actually have a degree in September.
Anyway, just as a guideline, does anyone know what sort of salary I should be looking at to live in Manchester on?
