Moving to take up a new job can be one of the most stressful events you encounter in your entire life and is likely to be a complicated endeavor regardless of how excited you are about your new work opportunity. The good news is that your company has shown that it recognizes you as being a valuable asset and is likely to be willing to offer assistance to make your move go as smoothly as possible.
If you want your move to be a success, there are a number of things that you need to do. One of the best tips is simply to make sure that you stay organized. A lot of the stress associated with relocation comes from having to manage all the logistics, such as finding a new home and having to leave your current home. Keeping ‘to do’ lists for both your arrival and departure locations is a great idea to ensure that you remain on top of things at all times.
You should also be aware of all the resources that are available to you. Many companies offer a range of moving services and will often be very flexible with regard to what they provide.
You should take time to find out what is available to you and how to make use of it; for instance, some firms will be willing to pay for things such as transporting your car, house hunting trips and helping you to rent a property. Even if assistance is not usually given, do not be afraid to negotiate.
