So I’m looking for a job. This isn’t the most ideal time to be looking for a job, but what the hey! My wife and I have discussed relocating for some time, and we recently decided to go ahead with the plan! Exciting, to say the least.
But as I said, it’s not the most ideal time to be job hunting. The market is slow — at least, that’s what everyone’s telling me and what I’ve discovered on my own. To complicate matters, we’re trying to relocate to very specific locations: Phoenix, Portland or Boulder (what can I say, I like deserts, rain and mountains).
I’ve never had to relocate before, so I’m not sure how to go about it: Do I move first and try to find an opening or do I find an opening prior to moving? I’m fortunate right now in that I telecommute, so moving isn’t a big deal… But then again, I want to do what’s right.
What experience/advice do you have for someone wishing to relocate?
