I'm a college grad, I want to move to NJ, I want a job there... what do I do?

ok, I live in Queens, NY, finished college last year in Manhattan, major in environmental studies and work part time making $15/hr. I am 24 and single. But I hate living here, hate my job, hate the crowd, hate the insane costs etc etc. The job search for the job I want, lab tech at a environmental/chemical/scientific company, has been awful in NYC, either my resume is ignored or no ads at all and now the last interview I followed up and they have hiring freeze! I even tried other job ads but no one calls back, etc. Nothing's wrong with my resume or interview skills. I search on indeed.com and see several lab jobs in Jersey and even Philadelphia, and it seems like they are desperate for people with science background... I was thinking that the metro area, places near the PATH are good places to live but how do I go about this?? How do I get the job first? What do I put on my resume & cover letter? Just thinking about this is scary, I've never moved before... I don't have a car, or a license (yet) but I wanna get out of NYC!! I live with my parents and they don't wanna leave NYC so I'll most likely be on my own. I'm NOT going to grad school in NYC either, haven't decided what to study or where I'll go. Ideally, I'd like to get the job first then rent a cheap apartment. I do not care for waterfront views or indoor gyms, a very basic apt in a good area is fine with me. And what about roommates?? Please help! thank you
