I've recently embarked on that period in life bouncing around from one visiting assistant professorship to the next, hoping for a tenure track position. While I have no advice on landing the dream job, I do have some experience in moving.
I just moved from Maryland and found a number of resources that can help you purge your belongings before the move. I found the following helpful (to varying degrees):
Craigslist: to sell unwanted items
Maryland Book Bank: will pick up large donations of books, you can drop off books any time at the loading dock
Habitat for Humanity: will pick up entire households
Goodwill: accepts donations of all kinds (drop off only)
City/county bulk trash: reserve early, and the government will whisk away your items (including electronics) for free. there is usually a limit to the number of items you can put out for collection.
1-800-Got Junk: expensive way to get rid of damaged furniture. The price includes moving the items from any location in your home. They also take paint.
