I am currently a 10 Year employee at a car dealership 6 years in sales and the last 4 as finance manager. I would like to move from Illinois to Georgia and leave the dealership world. Looking for advice on how to secure a job and moving to a new area and also other options for work that might be able to benefit from my skill set

When I was moving from Iowa to Georgia I started applying for jobs long before I actually got to Georgia. I knew it was going to take awhile to secure a job and then a bit to actually get hired and get a start date. I just let them know when I was moving and they were willing to work with that.

I just made a big move and generally speaking, if you are open and transparent, people are great about working with you. I would definitely start applying now to anything you can find that works for you, or if you are trying to be in a specific area, figure out how far out from that you should look.
