Question about relocating?

Question

I am in NY and talking to companies in FL with plans of relocating. One company in particular I am very interested in. I just want to make sure it is worth my while to go down there and interview. I am a recent college grad with a decent job here in NY but would like to move to FL. What kinds of things should I ask them to do differently because I am so far away. I would like to do as much over the phone as possible. Are there any keys to know if it is worth the flight and money to go interview. Any advice would be great.

I have been talking with the company already and they want me to come interview they said I meet their qualifications I just want to make sure it is worth it to go down. I also wonder any questions I should ask for example if I could most things over the phone to make it easier.

Answer 1

They should be paying for your trip down to interview. Airfare, hotel, etc.

Ask about relocation expense, COBRA reimbursement, etc. after they make you an offer. Most companies that pay relocation expense will require a 1 year commitment.

Answer 2

Did you send your resume by e-mail? My son just relocated and very satisfied. He communicated and interviewed on line. He got a lot of questions answered before going to the expense of traveling to them for a live interview.

Answer 3

first see if they'll pay for your relocation. if they do, do they require you to stay with them a certan amount of time to "work off" the moving expenses. find out the cost of living down there. pretty sure it'll be better than NY but doesn't hurt to check. ask if they will help you find a place or put you up somewhere temporarily until you find something yourself.

Answer 4

Why not just ask your current empoyeer if if they a branch in Florida and if they'd transfer you? You'd ask the Florida business, the same questions you asked teh New York one to get your job, and maybe some extra ones you didn't.
