Moving-how soon to start looking?

Published

Specializes in NICU, adult med-tele.

I am licensed in the state where I am headed. I have a few leads where I am planning on sending resumes right away. As far as responding to actual job listings, though. If I cannot start until about Jun 1, is it too soon to start applying? I was thinking maybe I should wait til the beginning of April or so. I don't want to annoy potential employers. What say y'all?

Thanks! :heartbeat

I can only speak for myself, I am moving the middle of June, started applying in Feb, and have a job starting in July. I would apply and see what happens. Employers will wait for you if you are the right fit.

That's good to hear. I feel a panicky need to DO SOMETHING! If that makes sense. I guess I can get started on that, at least.

Thanks!

I would start applying. Worst case scenario: they tell you "No", which is pretty much what would happen if you didn't do anything. But by applying now, there's always a chance of "Yes."

Also, applying now doesn't necessarily equal being annoying. If they tell you to apply when you actually move out here but you keep pestering them, then that's annoying :)
