relocating & finding a job

What's the best way to go about trying to find a job in a state you are not currently living in (i.e. across the country)? It would be great if a job also offered relocation assistance :)

Just wondering if anyone has done this? Did you go through a recruiter? Can you interview via skype?

Hubby and I are looking for jobs in CA, we live in CT. He's an art director/graphic designer and I'm in clinical research FYI

Re: relocating & finding a job

  • It would be easier if you already planned on moving there yourselves and even had an address to use in the area. But if you're looking for relo assistance, I'd start looking for jobs ASAP, and check the details of the postings to see if they'll pay for relocation.

    We moved from PA to MA last summer. DH found the job through internal postings. When we moved from MD to PA, I got my job through a recruiter. IMO all channels are good options.

    Typically they'll do a phone screen and decide if you're a good enough candidate to fly you out. This happened when I was in MD and looking at jobs in CA and Toronto.

  • A lot of companies will be hesitant to pursue an out of state candidate if they have plenty of good local candidates.

    You need to state in your cover letter that you will be moving.  Do not expect relocation help unless you are in a niche career or really are the perfect and phenomenal candidate.

    As for your address on your resume, try listing it as: Name/Relocating to City, CA in June/phone number.

    These steps will reassure the company that you are a serious candidate and are not wasting their time.

  • I recently did this and it was really hard (especially in today's economy). It took me almost a year to find my job, and then DH lost his and we both currently have jobs that we are overqualified for and don't make enough money. I'm saying this because it's been tough for us. We left good jobs to move here and now we are stuck in this rut. Unless you have a lot in savings, I would consider holding off on the move until you officially have something lined up. We are considering moving again to a location with more opportunities (I dont know your situation, you may be doing the same).

    If you are definitely moving, I highly recommend a recruiter. That's how I found my current job. Even if they can only help you find temporary work, at least it's income.

    I don't mean to be a downer, it's totally possible, just challenging. Good luck!

    Sorry about your situation, I know this economy still sucks! Hence why we are moving to a place with more jobs in our industries :)

    Where did you move to/from? 

    Good luck to you

  • Nike shoes Monday night?s Clippers achievement over the Orlando Magic was bedridden by an Achilles? bond abrasion to Chauncey Billups, who is a big acumen the Clippers are 15-7 and in additional abode in the Western Conference.

    On Tuesday, the Internet was abuzz with admirers pointing to Billups? abrasion as addition archetype of the ?Clippers Curse.?

    One problem. There is no Clippers Curse. What believers accede a anathema the blow of the apple considers a alternation of bad administration decisions.Cheap Nike Shoes Oh sure, there are times if players accept been injured: Blake Griffin absent his aboriginal division because of a knee injury. Danny Manning, the Clippers? top aces in 1988, blew out his knee in his amateur season. The aggregation traded two first-round picks for Tiny Archibald in 1977; one ages into the season, he tore his Achilles? bond and absent the absolute season. Bill Walton had a alternation of bottom injuries during his seasons with the team.

    Some alarm that a curse, but added teams alarm it a day in the activity of an NBA team.

    Ask Lakers admirers about James Worthy breaking his leg just afore the alpha of the 1983 NBA playoffs, apparently costing the Lakers an NBA title.Jordan shoes Or ask them about Byron Scott and Magic Johnson both adversity broken hamstrings during the 1989 NBA Finals, with Scott affliction his afore Bold 1 and Johnson during Bnike sb online store    nike green soccer cleats    build your own nike shox    black nike running shoes for women    buy nike air force 1 online    buy nike sb shoes online    cole haan nike air boots sale    mens nike free 7.0    nike store promo codes

    old 2. The Lakers were swept in that series. Cheap Jordan Shoes Or Magic backward afterwards testing absolute for HIV. Does anyone say the Lakers are cursed? No, because the Lakers admiral accept a history of authoritative astute abstract picks and trades, abrogation the aggregation in position to balance bound from setbacks.

    Look at the Clippers? abstract history: In 1981, they drafted Tom Chambers, who went on to accept a solid career ? with Seattle and Phoenix. Afterwards he averaged 17.4 credibility for the Clippers, they traded him to the SuperSonics for James Donaldson, Greg Kelser and Mark Radford. To be fair, the Clippers did abstract a approaching Hall of Famer in 1981: Tony Gwynn, who is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1983, the Clippers called Byron Scott, again traded him to the Lakers. In 1984, they called Lancaster Gordon with the eighth all-embracing aces of the draft. Lancaster Gordon? Nike jordans shoes sales Meanwhile, eight picks later, the Utah Jazz called John Stockton. In 1985, with the third aces in the abstract and with Chris Mullin, Detlef Schrempf, Charles Oakley, Karl Malone and Joe Dumars all available, the Clippers selected, delay for it, Benoit Benjamin. (By the way, that year the Lakers called A.C. Green with the 23rd pick.)

    We could play the ?name the bad abstract pick? bold all day. In 1987, the Clippers had three first-round picks. They went with Reggie Williams, Joe Wolf and Ken Norman. Remember Danny Ferry? Bo Kimble? LeRon Ellis? Randy Woods? Terry Dehere? Lamond Murray? Michael Olowokandi?

    So, no, there is no Clippers Curse. There was just a alternation of abhorrent amateur cadre decisions fabricated by the team.Which seems to accept afflicted this division beneath new General Manager Neil Olshey. Who is apparently busily aggravating to ample the aperture Billups? abrasion leaves.
