Q: I'm a reporter for a small daily. I've been here about 18 months after graduating college. At the end of the summer, I will move with my now-fiancee, but by then wife to the east coast, so she can attend graduate school.
We've arranged to live in a campus-owned apartment, which means low rent (especially good considering the high cost of living in the area.) The downside, however is that even though I get married in July, housing won't be available until the end of August/beginning of September. When should I start sending out my résum&eeacute;? Will I be overlooked if I send it too early and cannot start until September?

A: To avoid putting a delay on a potential employer, wait until six weeks before you can start work. It will take a month for the new paper to get you in, interview and make an offer, then you'll be expected to give your employer a two-week notice.
It sounds as though you can spend your honeymoon applying.
