6007 - When you, or your spouse, get a new job out of the area you are currently living in, there is an air of excitement. Whether the new position is a promotion inside the company or whether you were downsized out of a job and now have a new opportunity, there is tremendous satisfaction in knowing 'they want me'. The logistical side of getting from here to there, however, is a little more complex than just packing a toothbrush and hopping on a plane. So anchor yourself back on the ground and figure out timelines. The Timeline: When is the target date for the new position to start? When do you hope to physically move? Sometimes there is flexibility in the starting time, but look for the commencement date to be about three to six weeks from the offer. The physical move date is considerably more complex depending on your family needs and the relocation offer. If you have children in the school system, then the school year will be the most critical factor in the timing. Children in college, infants and other family members are more flexible. For school age children, including preschool, you will need to know when the school year starts, and for private schools you need to know when the application process is started.
