Relocation Help
If you are making a move because you are relocating for a job within your current company, check to see if they offer relocation help with moving expenses, temporary housing, and other moving related needs. Make sure you are clear about any details that are requirements from your employer when it comes to expenses. If they have a list of approved movers, you’ll want to know who is on that list before you hire someone.
Paperwork
It can be tough enough to stay organized and keep paperwork neat and orderly when you are just living day-to-day. Add in a move and things can get messy. Purchase a sturdy folder that you can secure. The accordion style folders work nicely because of the dividing element, and they are usually made of material that can take a bit of tossing around. Some of them come with tabs for labeling. Keep all your paperwork, receipts, and lists in this safe place.
Take a Trip
If it’s possible, take a trip (or two) to the new area to get the lay of the land. Check out the difference in the cost of everyday items. Explore the area parks and recreational areas. Check into laws that cover taxes, car registration, and vehicle inspections. These laws differ from place to place, and it’s good to know what you can expect.
You may want to check out schools, shopping centers, movie theaters, clothing cleaners, and salons. Enjoy your meals at various restaurants around town and speak to the local people. Some of the most useful information you’ll receive about the new location will come from the people who currently call it home.
Touch Base
If you are relocating because of the company for which you work, get in touch with people within your company that live in that area. Begin to develop a new social circle with them if you have common interests. Even if they aren’t people you want to hang out with on the weekend, it will help to know people in town when you make the move. It’s people like that who can tell you where to take your car when it breaks down or suggest a good babysitter if you need one on the weekend.
Give Yourself a Break
You are only human and the emotional stress of a relocation can get to anyone. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you begin to have doubts.
