5 Tips To Search For A Job If You Want To Move
Are you looking for a change in your career and feel that there will be better opportunities in another city or country? Then this article is for you.
1. Edit your cover letter to specify you are willing to move:
Make it clear in the cover letter to a potential employer that you are more than willing to relocate. This is necessary for clarification in the first go.
2. Contact a recruiter:
Get in touch with a recruiter who operates out of the place you want to move to. They are better at knowing the vacancies, have an established network and can get you an interview.
3. Conduct an online search and sign-up for alerts:
The simplest thing to do is conduct an online search for a job in your desired location in places like LinkedIn, Glassdoor etc. A normal Google search for “jobs” will also lead you to some openings.
4. Set aside sufficient time:
Don’t make an impulsive decision to quit your current job and relocate. Even after you get a job in a new city, move there at least a week before the first day of your new job. It will help you adjust and sort out the basic formalities.
5. Find local potential employers:
You can do a local search and find out what companies are situated in the city you want to move to. You can look for their e-mail addresses and send them an e-mail even if there is no vacancy. It is possible that something might work out. You can also find jobs through local websites or using the connections you might have through social media platforms in the desired location.
You can also check with your current employer if you can work remotely or request a transfer. If you must move immediately, you can take a temp job until you find something better. Remember, not to over-expect or be under-prepared.
