Job Relocations from True Friends Moving

You just got a new job and you’re relocating your family to Knoxville.  Although you're sad to leave the home your kids were born in behind, the promotion you got from work was hard earned, the schools in the new area you're moving to are highly ranked, and your wife will be closer to her family in North Carolina, so everyone is happy for the change.

While you start the new job in a month, the official move date for your family is still a ways off, so you decide to come home on the weekends and try to pack/move on your own.

A month into trying to get everything packed, shipped and trucked, you realize you’re in over your head.  The idea of wrapping all of the furniture alone stresses you out, not to mention packing all of your possessions into boxes and figuring the most economical way to fit it all into the smallest possible moving truck to drive across the state.  You go online to find movers and find Nashville's True Friends Movers.

According to Forbes.com, every year 1/10 Americans move.  About half of these moves are job related.  For this reason, True Friends Moving Company thought we’d give you five quick tips on how to have a great job relocation.

1.     Learn your company’s relocation services.  Most companies that require you to relocate offer assistance including payment for house search trips, transporting your cars, and even help placing your spouse in a job in the new city.

2.     Explore the new area before moving.  Make sure you check out the neighborhoods in your new home in person, to find an area that best suits your family’s needs.  If you can’t visit, check out websites on the area, talk to current neighbors who used to live in your future home, or have people put you in touch with current residents to get a sense of the culture.

3.     Check if you can write it off.  Oftentimes, people who relocate for work are eligible for partial reimbursement come tax time. 

4.     Know the cost of living.  The cost of living varies greatly between different cities, even within the continental U.S.  Always make sure the difference in cost of living is being compensated for in your salary.
