Moving and starting a new job are stressful events on their own, but dealing with both at the same time can be a lot to handle. To make sure that your moving experience is as hassle-free as possible, read on for some helpful tips from the team at UNITS\u00ae Moving and Portable Storage of Chicago, Illinois<\/a>.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ask about relocation benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s always best to check with your benefits coordinator about any relocation services they can offer. Your employer might have a relocation package or other benefits that can help make your transition a little easier. They may be able to cover your moving expenses or closing costs if you decide to sell your house.<\/p>\n

Research the area<\/strong><\/p>\n

You should always do some research on housing expenses and the cost of living in your new location before you begin your move. Landing a new job with a higher salary is exciting, but if the new neighborhood is more expensive than the one you’re moving from, you may need to budget your finances more.<\/p>\n

Hire a moving service<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your new job means you\u2019ll be moving long-distance, it\u2019s essential to use a reputable and insured moving company that handles this type of relocation. At UNITS\u00ae Moving and Portable Storage, we offer different storage container sizes and we\u2019ll deliver your belongings to your new home for you.<\/p>\n

Take care of transition details<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re ready to start your big move, make sure you take care of the transitional details that can turn into a hassle. Have utility services, such as gas, electric, and Internet connections turned on in your new home on moving day to make things a little easier. You should also notify your credit card companies, banks, and other important contacts of your new address.<\/p>\n
