    Companies can be put off from employing someone who would relocate for a entry level admin role. They will be getting so many applications currently so this will probably get yours put in the no pile straight away. 
    This is true, but where I work you wouldn't see where the applicant lived, unless it was mentioned in the personal statement. If you've got a strong link to a particular area it may be worth mentioning that, but depending on the kind of applications you're making it may not be necessary. 

    And it is possible to start somewhere else fairly easily: I think the hardest thing I've ever done for DS2 was to drop him at the station to get a train to London to live in a hostel while he looked for somewhere to live for his new job.
