I have a lot of time for people who are prepared to change their address for a role because it’s a massive deal. BUT, if you’re looking at a new opportunity that would mean upping sticks, don’t fall into the trap of overselling yourself in interviews if you haven’t looked at the full picture. As much as you might think saying ‘yes’ to everything when you’re being asked about relocating will make you look keen, failing to look at the practicalities could give the impression you’re just in it for the money rather than a long-term living situation. We once questioned someone about their eagerness to relocate because we suspected they hadn’t looked at the logistical factors such as rent prices, moving expenses, cost of living, etc. 🏚️ Instead of showing that they’d done their research and looked closely at the reality of changing postcodes, we could sense and feel they were uncomfortable with the conversation. If you’re serious about relocating for a job, look at all the angles so you have answers ready if you’re asked about it. Recruiters and employers are much more likely to take your enthusiasm seriously if you’ve done your homework and shown commitment to the cause.
