what advice can you give to someone who would like to seek employment out of state?

Long story short, I am a dental hygienist. Been out of school for over 3 years and there are NO jobs in that field here in my state. It took a year and a half to find a job, but it's a minimum wage cashier job. I have student loans to repay and I have a family to raise as well. I have two college degrees, and end up with a job that any high school graduate can do. It's kind of sad.

Not saying that I am or am not, but the thought of moving out of my state has come to mind, so I can get a job that pays better where I can support my family and pay off my debt. I was wondering what kind of advice you may have in trying to seek employment elsewhere. I know that I have the knowledge & the personality for the work, and I have skills from filling in at various offices when they needed me to fill in for someone, but how can I put my personality on my resume to make it stand out?
