Relocating is a major life event, and if you don’t have a job lined up beforehand, it can be a challenging one. At Labor Solutions, we understand the difficulties that come with that transition, and we’re here to guide you through the process.

6 Tips for Finding a Job After Relocating

Let’s look at six essential tips for your job search post-relocation:

  • Tell Your Network About the Move. Whether it’s via a LinkedIn post, a personal message, or anything else, getting the word out about your move can be a big help in your job search. If you have connections in the area you’re moving, contact them directly to see if they can help you.
  • Research Employers in the Area. It’s hard to get a job if you don’t know where to apply. Familiarize yourself with the job market in the area and the employers there. Labor Solutions’ database of job openings is a great resource to find potential employers.
  • Make Sure You Update Your Profiles. If you don’t update your profiles on sites like LinkedIn when you move, it’ll be that much harder for employers to find you. Be sure to update any social media profiles as soon as (or even before) you move. 
  • Set Up Job Alerts. Job alerts are a great way to automatically get emails or texts about openings in your area. You can set these up on sites like LinkedIn, or directly via a company’s website or employment portal. 
  • Consider Attending Meetups to Build Your Network. If you have few to no connections in your new city, it can be a struggle to find work. By finding professionally oriented meetups on sites like Meetup.com, you can help build that network to make the job hunt easier. 
  • Be Patient. Searching for a job somewhere new can be frustrating, and you’re not likely to find a job overnight. It’s important to stay patient and keep a positive mindset. Eventually, you will find a job.
