The Remote Job Search Versus the Local Job Search?

The local job search has the advantage of being able to meet someone face to face or a coffee. When you don't necessarily have that at a moment's notice and you have to schedule those face to face interactions around some sort of travel or vacation, that gets a bit more challenging. The other part of it is that I really pushed myself to understand that a lot of the folks I'd be talking to were making an extra effort to talk to me.
