8.0 Final Words
There’s a lot involved in job relocation, yes—and not least of all because you
want to nail it at your first week on the job without thinking of whether or not
you bought kitty litter. The many moving parts mean you should try to be as
organized as humanly possible from the beginning. If possible, give yourself at
least a couple of days (longer if you're moving a great distance or to a really
big city from a tiny town) in your new surroundings before the job starts. But
if that’s not an option, know that if you follow the above steps, you’ll be able to
hit the ground running. Chances are, you’re not the first one at your new
company to have relocated for work, and generally, people who have been
there, done that are more than happy to share words of wisdom and advice.
And that right there is your foolproof conversation starter at the water cooler.
