226: Considering moving for a Job? How to Ask for Relocation Assistance


Listen Later

Would you uproot your entire life for a job?

From dream roles in new cities, to promotions in different states, relocating for work can open huge career opportunities.

It also raises a big question: who's supposed to pay for it?

In this episode, Sarah and Emma unpack how to ask about relocation assistance during the hiring process without sounding awkward, demanding or like you're negotiating too soon.

We also explain what relocation support can actually include, what to do if a company says no, and how to weigh up whether a move is worth it for your long-term career goals.

ā€œHi Sarah and Em, I’ve been almost as excited to contact you as I was when I got the job! Yesterday, the offer came in! After 18 years with the same company, I was actually head hunted for a VP of Sales position, a big move up. Being in sales I get contacted a lot for jobs, but none had ever interested me, until this one, which I thought was worth giving a go. I haven’t had a proper interview in almost a decade, so I was very nervous when I found out I’d have four separate interviews with members of the C-suite including my manager and the CEO. I went online and found you all and binge listened to about 15 of your most relevant episodes. I felt so prepared having all my best bits laid out and found ways to roll them into every response that I could. I left each interview knowing they were impressed with my responses and I owe a chunk of that to you both. After a slightly nerve-racking reference period, yesterday I got the offer OVER my asking salary. You provide a great service and I’ve already shared your podcast with my family and friends! Thank you from the U S of A!ā€
