It depends on where you're moving and the type of work experience that you have.  Kelly Services is a good temp. agency to work for and they are national as well as international.  I have worked with them previously and they are pretty good.  The pay is pretty decent and you get paid on a weekly basis.  Of course it's not good to make a career out of it but it's certainly a good way to make some cash to pay your bills until you find a permanent position.  They're also good because you get steady work and they usually call you with an assignment a few days after your background check comes back.

There are employers who offer a relocation allocation if the person moves, but it is not always the case with every single job. However, in some circumstances, the federal government offers a tax credit in some circumstances of a move for a job, but you have to check with your accountant with it. Unfortunately, unless your friend gets specific about the one for college other than telling you there is one out there, I do not know of any.

Sorry to be equivocal, but it depends on the type of engineering and the type of company. Most large corporations will pay the entire cost of relocation for professional staff. That includes packing/moving expenses, temporary accomodations, food, etc. Some even offer employees perks like closing costs on houses if purchased within a certain timeframe or help finding a spouse or significant other employment.\n\nMany of these items are negotiable. Don't assume that because it's not offered it isn't available. Ask politely and be willing to offer things in return...showing up for the job on an earlier date, some flexibility in intial salary or raise if you absolutely/positively NEED help with moving expenses.\n\nSmaller companies or lower level positions in a larger company may offer no to only limited help with relocation. Again, this a usually a negotiable point. The only way to find out is to ask. Again, be flexible and try to offer something of "value" to them in return.

See if your employer offers assistance finding housing as part of your relocation.  Also try craigslist.org and the local newspapers.  This is where many private landlords advertise.

Find out if the company in Texas offers relocation fees or reimburses you for travel expenses. Most employers in Texas who require a security clearance are defense contractors or government agencies. If you qualify as a job candidate then you may be able to negotiate a relocation stipend.

you would start by contacting your local job service office. Then they will direct you from there if they cannot assist you. I live in Illinois

There's a website and newsletter than you can subscribe to about this exact topic, and a book you can read.  Cathy Goodwin, Ph.D. has a free newsletter/eZine called "Great Career Moves" and a downloadable book called "Making the Big Move" as well as other relocation resources on her website.

If you are in the USA, you have a legal recourse if an employee of your current (or former once you leave) position maliciously maligns you to your new employer.\n\nDo nothing now (forget HR). Keep your personnel records with you -- past reviews, emails, letters, memos etc.... that will support your position as a good employee.

The answer depends on the company policy and how badly the company wants you at the new location. You just have to ask and see what the situation is. \n\nI have volunteered to relocate. My company policy automatically kicked in and most of my expenses were covered.  Some smaller companies may not have the resources to do the same.

I think a staffing firm would be your best bet at your point. For some odd reason this happens to everyone. I can remember being over qualified for certain positions that I applied for and would never get a call back . You may want to take a look at your resume and make sure it fits and sells yourself properly. I decided to change career paths because the business end of the deal doesnt really get you anywhere these days.

First, take advantage of your military transition center.  They should have excellent programs that cover resume writing and interview workshops.  They'll help translate all those military terms into ideas that can be understood by civilians.  I don't know your job specialty but try to find similar positions in the job market (if you like what you're doing).  In general, you should have excellent communication skills, strong understanding and ability to work with teams, and the ability to adapt and shift directions when needed.  It can be a bit overwhelming at times especially moving to the opposite coast but stay positive.  Try to find a friend or family member near the area you are moving to while you get on your feet.  Best of luck!

This is best if done on company letterhaed, even if you need to design this for the job.\nThe letter should state:\nThe announcement of the move, including an effective date or range of dates.\nThe new location and any change of mailing address.\nAny change in telephone numbers, if necessary or a statement that you can still be reached at the old number.\nIf you want, a reason for the change in address (bigger, better, more centrally located, etc.).\nYou should also include an assurance that the quality of goods and services will not be changed.\nYou might also give a number to call if they have any question or a small map of the new location.

You didn't mention what industry you want to work in, or what you got your degree in.  This makes a huge difference because any good agency or headhunter will have a specialty that they work with (i.e. finance, pharmacy, law, etc...).  I would also recommend that you only use a headhunter who specializes in your field; this way you can ensure better results or at least better chances.  Also, while I am not familiar with the Cleveland market, if you are in a specialty industry, I would not imagine that hiring a headhunter would be worth the money.  I can only see the use in hiring a headhunter if unemployment is really high in your area, you don't have a large network, and/or if you need professional help (such as in writing a resume, job tips, etc..)   Here in California, the companies and businesses pay the headhunters, never the people being placed. Have you called several local agencies or headhunters to verify this is really a practice in your area? Also, if the job market is tough in your area, tell your temp agency that you are looking for a temp-to-permanent position, and try to "wow" the employer you are working for.  A lot of times if the employer likes you while you are temping, they will try to find you a permanent position within their company.  Also let your desire to become hired permanently known with the companies that you temp with, and an offer might just appear.....

I don't think you would want to chance something as important as your business to a random web page.  I would look into a recruiting firm in the areas you are looking to place people and give them a description of what you need.  Not only will you get prequalified applicants, you usually get a guarantee on the placement (ie. if you are not satisfied, they will place another person until you are).
