If you are planning to relocate but haven't found a new job, now is the time to plan your move. These tips will help you land on your dream home (and job!) 

• Create an impressive resume. With the competitive job market, it is more important than ever to make your resume stand out from the rest. Be sure to add relevant skills and experience.

• Start job hunting. Browse the classified ads and job search websites, or go to job fairs in your area. 

• Consider the cost of living when accepting a job offer. Find out the cost of living in the area you wish to relocate into. A higher salary isn't always better if the cost of living is outrageous.

• Consider the housing market. Think about the expenses when you are still selling your home. Is it going to be difficult to sell your old house and buy a new one? Can you afford paying mortgages? Is the company going to provide a place where you can reside? These questions are crucial.

• Hire a professional moving service. Once you've found a new job, find a reputable moving company. Get a moving quote and start comparing rates. Read reviews and find out what people are saying about a particular service. 

Before the relocation, be sure to organize your move. To find out the things you need before moving into a new home, read this.
