RELOCATING FOR A JOB CHECKLIST

1. Fill Out Moving Documents Early

Staying on top of your documents is essential, so we recommend scheduling when each is due. This way, you can always access this information when you need it.

It is essential to fill them out early because some applications are more strict than others, and you want to have time to revise them if need be. For example, the application to become Singapore PR is pervasive and requires much attention to detail, and if not done perfectly, it could cause it to be rejected.

With extra time and earliness in completing this application, you will have time to make sure it is done the first time correctly.

2. Pack Thoughtfully for Your Move

When you begin to pack, start with the items you will only need every few months so that if they stay packed or in storage for that long, you will not mind. Conversely, pack all the items you need weekly last.

That way, items you need frequently will only be in storage for a short time. This helps you pack and make progress with your move while guaranteeing you access to the things you need to complete your job and keep up with your career.

3. Rely On Your Support Systems

If you have people in your life that you can trust to be there for you, ask them to be! Having more hands to help you with the moving aspect will give you time to work on your job and keep up with career tasks.

Because there are so many aspects of moving, especially if you are moving to a new country altogether, you will need help organizing and staying on top of everything. Don’t be afraid to reach out for help because this is not easy to do alone.

4. Communicate With Your Job About The Relocation

While time off would allow you to focus entirely on your move, not all people can afford unpaid time off, and not everyone has access to paid time off. If you, like many others, cannot do this, you are still better off communicating with your supervisor/clients/customers about it.

Let them know ahead of time that you might need to take longer breaks to move or alter your current work/life balance.

When you explain your situation, most individuals will understand that it is temporary. Once the move is complete, you will be ready to take on full responsibility again. With good communication, you will likely be met with understanding and even forgiveness of mistakes or lateness resulting from the moving process.

Final Thoughts

Even though moving to a new home or a new country is a long and challenging process, you don’t need to give up time at your job or career to make it happen! We compiled a list above of all the things and steps you can take to make sure that your move is as easy as possible.

Stick to these, and you will be set for a successful move and further your career at the same time! Good Luck!
