I am looking to move from CA to Raleigh NC, any suggestions when to apply for jobs and when how to find housin?
Depends on which industry you want to be in. I would begin applying four to six weeks ahead of the move for most industries. Note on your resume when you expect to be available. Also look for employment in the surrounding areas, Durham, Chapel Hill, Knightdale, Cary, etc. If it's just you and you aren't that picky, you should be able to find an apartment fairly easy. The area is fairly transient with alot of the residents being fairly young. Possibly narrow down your options, but don't sign a lease until you have a job offer.





Hope it helps.
Reply:Finding housing shouldnt be a problem, just driving thru raliegh and neighboring towns for sale signs are up everywhere. And many prices of the houses have dropped sometimes 20 to 50,000 below initial asking price. If your looking into apartments then they may be a bigger challenge, but there are plenty of apartments and condos available, just check online publications of newspapers for advertisements or the yellow pages and call around/ email for availability. There are many job openings in Raliegh right now, but hardly any entry level jobs. Its extremely hard to find a job without any experience here just bc there are more people wanting a job than there are jobs. But im sure its like that in most places.


You should try find a job before the move if u can, as well a living situation, even if it is just temporary. Its never to soon to start looking around at your possibilities.





hope u like NC if u decide to move
