Finding a job in another city or region is very common today. The geography of labor migrations is very wide. Applicants travel from the provinces to megacities, change cities with a population of over one million, leave the capital in search of a quieter place, return to their home towns and villages. Whatever your goals and motives - a dizzying career, high salaries, a desire to “see the world” or to become a first-class specialist in a new field - take your job search in another city seriously.
Instructions
Step 1
The first thing you have to decide is whether you will be looking for a new job while in your hometown, or will you first move to a new place of residence, and only then throw all your energies into looking for vacancies. It may seem that the second option is more promising: being on the spot, it is easier to navigate the offers, it is easier to arrange interviews, and for potential employers you will no longer be a “candidate from distant Uryupinsk”. However, not all so simple. This option is good for university graduates who have no work experience behind them, are easy-going and are not connected in any way in their hometown. If you are an experienced specialist with a solid store of knowledge, do not rush to quit and burn all the bridges. It is easier for a working candidate to search for a new job from a purely psychological point of view. In addition, remember that you will need some kind of financial "safety cushion" for the first time: life in a strange city is often much more expensive than it seems at first glance.
Step 2
To search, use the Internet resources of the region where you want to work. Look for offers on job search sites. Analyze job offers, requirements and pay levels. You must have a very good idea of what a job in another city can give you, what you want to achieve, as well as what you can offer this or that company.
Step 3
Create a resume. When sending it in response to a vacancy you like, indicate in your cover letter that you are ready to move. If possible, state the reason for your decision. If you post your resume on the Internet, indicate the city where you are looking for work and indicate your readiness to change your place of residence so that the employer from Krasnodar does not decide that the resume of an employee from Novosibirsk came to him by mistake.
Step 4
Use the help of recruiting agencies in your job search. Try to find recruiting organizations in your city that have branches or representative offices throughout the country and in the city where you plan to live and work. They will select suitable vacancies for you, provide you with several options to choose from, and perhaps even find companies that are ready to take on compensation for moving to a new place of work for a future employee.
Step 5
Modern means of communication make it possible to carry out the initial stages of selection remotely. HR managers willingly use tools such as Skype negotiations and telephone interviews in their work. However, you still have to come to the final interview. Discuss all the details of your future work, as well as the possibility of partial or full payment for rental housing or moving costs (often offered by large companies for highly qualified professionals). You should not have the slightest unclear details about your new position, because turning back the clock for someone moving to another city is sometimes very difficult.
