willing to relocate

Nurses General Nursing

Published

So maybe someone can help me. I am willing to relocate and actually really would like to move back closer to my family. My question is - how to I put that on my resume or at least make employers aware that I am interested in relocating??? I also would like to know how to ask about relocation assistance or sign-on bonuses-----well any extras the hospitals may have ---without sounding like that is the only thing that I am interested in. Thanks for any suggestions.

Use your cover letter to share the relocation information. Not sure how to approach the relocation assistance/hiring bonus question. Good Luck!

Agree with using the cover letter to express interest in relocating. I would call HR and say you are considering applying for a position and would like to know if they are currently offering any bonuses or relocation assistance. That way, if they are offering a bonus for a particular area you can be more specific when applying. I'd save questions about other perks for the interview.

The HR person discussed relocation/sign on bonus and benefits with me during all my interviews. My teachers advised that it was best to not inquire about such things until after the interview, otherwise it may seem that you are more interested in the money than you are the actual hospital. Good luck
