manofmystrey Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Hey people hope all is well. I was wondering if u all could help me out. Here is my problem. I moved from a large city to a small city to be closer to my family. My parents live far away from me and my brother. I just got out of a very long relationship. So for that reason i moved to a small town to be close to my brother and sister in law. I am not really big on the small city that i am living and i want to move. My sister in law is a doctor so her and my brother will be moving away soon as she is almost finshied her residency and is doing intervews in different cities. Here is my problem. I want to move, but i am scared. I have never really been on my own. at first i had my g/f but when we broke i had my brother but now its time to move on my own. I have been looking for a job now for some time, but the problem that i am having is that many of the employers that i talk to tell me that they wont pay to relocate me, that is not a big deal i as have out lined in my resume that i will pay for relocation myself but they tell me the same thing that at this time they are looking for someone locally. I dont want to make the move and not have a job lined up and burn through the saving that i have built up. This is a very big move as i am trying to build a new life for myself. I was wondering if anyone could offer advice or if anyone has been through this same thing how it was handled. Any and all advice would be welcomed. Thank you for taking the time to help out.

Merin Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Well I think it's smart to wait until you have a job lined up before making the move, however I can see where your frustration would be in being turned down because you're not local... So, have you considered moving closer to where your parents are and staying with them until you land a job and can get on your feet? OR moving to the same city where your brother will be? OR what about an old high school or college friend that might be able to help you out in a city you may like to live in? Link to post Share on other sites
