At times in our career, we may decide that we need a change. If you have your heart set on a particular job role then you can set about applying for positions local to you in that industry. If however you are struggling to find jobs that match what you are looking for local to you then you may need to consider if you would relocate for a position. Relocation could mean moving house to another part of the country or even to another country. Before applying for a position you need to be sure that you would be happy moving nearby. When looking at moving, consider all the moving costs as well as the cost of living. It may be that the job attracted you because of a higher salary, but f the cost of living in the area is more, you may actually come home with the same or even less that you were doing.

When having to relocate for work, you might worry about how you will adapt to life in a new country, but often it is easier when moving with your job than just up and moving for another reason. Moving to a new country can be a big upheaval but if your work has asked you to relocate, then the company will usually arrange to move all of your belongings for you. They may even offer you accommodation (paid for) along with your new job role.
