Looking for advice on a change. I'm about to move to a neighboring state, but I never had done that before. I will need a job almost immediately when I move so that it's a clean and smooth transition. How did you all, those who have moved to a new state, do it? What was the plan? I have less than 2 weeks before I move. I am grateful to any advice received as it means more to me than these words could express.

It also depends on your skills/experiences. Hope everything goes well for you😊well there's a job opening I'd like to share, a Cruise Ship industry is currently in need of 14 workers. They pay upto $7k per 2 weeks, I believe they're more in search of Merchandise and Food&Beverage staffs, is anyone in for it?

This is a tough one as in today's job market, you most likely won't find a job for a while.

The best advice I can give is to write an introduction letter to companies in the new area that you would like to work for and explain your situation. Let them know the date you'll be available for an interview and what job titles you're interested in. Don't forget to give your phone number and email address.

So no problems relocating from South America to Vatican City and finding a job?

It’s darn near impossible to find a reasonable job in two weeks in another state. It months at minimum. But look for relocation coverage as part of the package or potential temporary housing while you find a place.

Hello, Thank you for sharing your question. Moving to a new state on short notice can definitely feel overwhelming, especially when you need a job quickly. With your background as an operator, emphasizing your relevant skills—reliability, attention to detail, and adaptability, can help you stand out. Applying to positions in advance, reaching out to local networks, and considering temporary or remote roles can also make the transition smoother.

When I faced a similar situation of relocating and needing immediate work, the support from the career team at alfredpetersonhiringteam/gmail/com was invaluable. They helped me clarify my strengths and target opportunities efficiently, which ultimately led me to secure my first role as a flight attendant. If you’d like guidance on creating a focused plan and positioning your profile, connecting with their group could give you a helpful head start. Wishing you a smooth move and success in landing the right role quickly!

Hey guys,

Currently in Saas sales for MDM and AV, but I'm getting tired of the sales side and constant budget chase. Probably also because we get few leads and I have to do a lot of building pipeline from scratch. I'm thinking about taking some online courses to try to move over to cyber security, what would be the easiest step that way career wise- preferably also away fro sales?
