Hello All Help Wanted Seekers!
Dedicated to those brave souls who accept a job and "relocate"...relocating can be an exciting adventure...moving from one realm to the other....big city...small town...
There are so many emotions involved....new place...new job...new neighbors...even a new supermarket!
I recall relocating a candidate to NJ...the new hire came to me and said his wife was crying in the cereal aisle...I felt awful..how can someone cry between Fruit Loops and Cheerios??...but, she was overwhelmed...she had come from a place where there were 10 cereals...not 100 cereals...it was then I realized....how disconnected she must have felt...
For those hiring...make a list of preferred vendors in the area....pair up the new hire with someone he/she can relate to...if there's a family involved make sure the new "buddy" has a family...
It takes time for people to adjust ..and...a more productive employee is a more settled employee...
The hire doesn't end with the offer...it's just the beginning...
For the new employee...take advantage......if you don't have a "buddy" ask for one!
Your Employment Yenta....(Just call me "T")
