Are you really ready to go?


  • You are actively looking for a job and you thought about everything:

  • you have an impressive resume,

  • many employers already received a copy,

  • you are ready for interviews, and of course,

  • you can start your new job right away.

You are almost ready… What if you are selected for an interview?

Do you have a car? Do you even have a driver’s license?

Unfortunately, having a job in this region means having a car or some prearranged way to get to work. You may not be able to work exactly where you live. So, you may have to think about traveling.

Here is a simple solution:

  • Start asking family and friends about where they work and how they get there. Carpooling is a popular option, and much cheaper. Of course, you will have to share some gas-related costs, but you are also multiplying your chances of employment.

In fact, it may be wise for you to check out possible traveling arrangements before your send your resume to employers.
