Q:

I've been looking for an out-of-state job for 6 months now, what else could I do?

I'm currently attempting to locate a job in another state (NYC if that's relevant) and have been for ~6 months. What's further complicating my search is that I'm trying to shift careers at the same time (from engineering to product management which I do have some experience in) and it's not going well - In four months I've only managed to get 3 phone interviews and 1 on-site interview and I'm running out of ideas as to what else to try.
What I've tried so far:

Had my resume professionally revised.
Had my resume reviewed by Product Management hiring managers.
Exhausted all applicable contacts in my network.
I had one recruiter send my resume out and they all rejected me. Other recruiters simply said that they'll contact me if they feel I'd be a fit somewhere and nothing. 
Put NY as my location in all my applications

The planned move is so that I can be with my significant other so I'm fairly set on location and thus staying where I am isn't really an option.
Can anyone suggest other tactics or options for me to try?

A:

Having done the transition from Engineering to Product Management and back to Engineering, I can tell you the transition isn't easy. While you may have some experience with product management, if you didn't formally hold a product management title or have a business education, company will tend to screen you out. This may have to do with stereotypes about engineers or there are more experienced or more traditional candidates to hire. 
My recommendation is to take an engineering position, then transition to product management internally. You could also start building your network in NYC for your next move.
