Job relocation tips

• Ask about relocation costs. Traditional “relocation packages” are less common these days. Instead, some companies will provide money for employees to use when transferring. With the new tax guidelines, that money counts as income and is taxable. So it’s even more important than ever to make that money go as far as possible. U-Pack keeps costs low with our flexibility and money-saving options. Learn more about getting the cheapest moving rates.
   
• Stick to a plan. There are so many tasks to complete before a move. With the focus on your new job, don’t overlook anything. Use our moving checklist to keep tabs on everything before moving day.
   
• Reach out to new co-workers. Ask your boss if it’s OK to connect with new co-workers on social media or via email before starting the new job. If you’re new to the area, ask them for recommendations on places to eat, medical care providers, real estate agents, and more.
   
• Consider short-term housing options. Looking for a permanent residence while living in another city and planning a job relocation can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re not familiar with the new area. A more convenient option may be to find short-term housing. Start work without feeling pressured to sign a long-term lease or close on a home.  
   
• Locate the essentials when you arrive. Make sure you know how to get to your new job from your new house. Have to get a health check before beginning work? Find the clinic. Plan on getting coffee on the way to your first day? Locate the nearest drive-thru beforehand. You don’t want to get lost on an important day.
   
• Handle the changes before starting the new job. There can be endless things to schedule when moving for a job. From utility installation, repairs, cleaning, and furniture delivery to updating your driver’s license at the DMV — the chores don’t stop. Tackle as much as possible before your start date. This way, you don’t have to step out of the office for all these appointments and tasks.
