A Little Hand Holding Never Hurt
On “The Hills,” it seems like L.A. is filled with gorgeous young adults, with incredibly glamorous jobs, who still have plenty of time to hit the beach and work on their perfect tans. What then, is preventing you from packing your bags and hopping on the next flight west to seek the ultimate job and life-style? If you do see the City of Angels as the perfect place to spread your career wings and fly, don’t kid yourself. While L.A. does present myriad job opportunities, relocating is challenging and guidance is key. Everyone can benefit from a hand to hold in the process. That’s what recruiters, especially ones who specialize in relocation (like me!), are here for. We are like the welcoming face, standing at the airport, holding a sign with your name on it. We provide the huge, comforting sigh of relief when faced with saying good-byes, packing possessions, finding new digs, changing mailing addresses and transferring documents. Most importantly, we have personal relationships with many of the employers that you’re trying to contact in your search for a new job. In the quest for the best possible life-style, why would anyone squander the perfect resource?
