How To Job Hunt in Rural Areas

[Joywtseo421]

Job hunting is already difficult; job hunting when the only things within walking distance of your house are a field of sheep and a post office is even harder. The most obvious answer is to move house, but what if you can’t or don’t want to?

Never fear, you’re not doomed to unemployment and there are plenty of things you can do to improve your job prospects.


Make Sure You Have Transport

Unless you’re planning to work within walking distance or from home (more on this in morocco phone number resource a minute) you’ll need a way of getting to work. Public transport is often infrequent or unreliable in the countryside, so having your own transport will give you more choice of jobs.

However, if this isn’t an option for you, all is not lost. If you house share with someone who has a car, ask them if they’d be happy to give you a lift in exchange for petrol contributions. Both of you will save money and your job search area will increase. There are even car share websites these days.

If you have to make do with local bus routes, check what’s available to you before committing to a job. Rural businesses are often quite understanding about travel difficulties, and there’s a good chance one of your new colleagues is happy to lift share.
