Moving to a New Job
Relocation
Moving from one part of the country to another is a major undertaking and all parties involved in the decision need to be consulted as soon as possible - certainly before you agree to go for interview to a company geographically distant from home.
The first step is to talk to your partner. What impact would a move have on his or her social life, family networking, present career, potential for future employment?
If you have children, is it desirable to take them away from their friends and familiar surroundings? If they are taking examinations soon, what effect might significant disruption have on their ability to get good results? And don't forget your parents too. How might they feel if you moved away?
Also remember there are wide differentials in property prices and the cost of living in different parts of the country.
If you do decide that relocating for a better position is the way forward, your MRI consultant can help make things go smoothly by putting your new company in touch with our professional relocation partners who will take care of everything from the sale of your house to identifying appropriate schools in the new area.
Travelling
You may prefer to commute to your new job. Think carefully about how much time you would be prepared to spend driving each day, as well as the effect of rush hour traffic, clogged motorways and roadworks, on your physical and mental well-being.
