What to Do When Taking a Seasonal Job in Another City
So, you’ve just found your dream seasonal job and you’re preparing to move to another city. Congrats! This can be an incredibly exciting prospect, especially if the job seems to fit your needs and interests. Here are a few tips that will help you to be prepared when you’re taking a seasonal job away from home.
Find a Place to Stay
First of all, it is important to find a place to stay while you are working your seasonal job away from home. You will want the place you stay at to be affordable, but you’ll also need it to be comfortable and convenient. If you know that you’ll be staying in that city for quite a few months, you might want to consider renting rather than staying in a hotel. This will give you more of a homey experience, and provide you with convenient amenities such as having a kitchen, dishwasher, and clothes washer and dryer. There are many homes and apartments available for long-term travelers on Airbnb and Vrbo. Take your time to find the perfect stay that will match your needs and budget.
Figure Out Transportation
Another important step will be to figure out transportation in the area that you’ll be moving to. If you know that you’ll have a commute and will need flexibility for your job, it might be a good idea to rent a car, or even drive yourself out to the new location with your own car if possible. You can choose a long-term car rental if you’re going to be in a place for less than a year. On the other hand, if you’re going to be in a big city where everything is located closely together, you might want to use public transportation and taxis instead. This could save you a lot of money and be convenient depending on your situation.
Familiarize Yourself with the Area
Finally, make sure that you familiarize yourself with the area when you move for your seasonal job. In order for you to make your temporary lifestyle there enjoyable, it is important to know the area around you. This will come in handy when you need to get groceries or run errands like getting your clothes dry-cleaned. It will also help you to thrive in that area as you find ways to have fun and entertain yourself with your community there.
So, if you know that you’ll be moving to a new city or area in the near future and want to be prepared, make sure that you follow these steps. Remember to find a place to stay, figure out transportation, and familiarize yourself with the area. Once you’ve done this, you’ll be ready to jump into your new work role without stressing too much about your other accommodations.
