What We Do for Relocating Candidates

Resume Target's relocation resume service uses a 1-on-1 phone interview to position your move as an opportunity, not a risk — addressing employer concerns about timing, commitment, and logistics in your resume and cover letter, backed by our 90-day interview guarantee.

Why Employers Hesitate

Hiring an out-of-town candidate feels risky.
We address their concerns before they become rejections.

EMPLOYERS WORRY... "Will they actually move?" "Are they just testing the market?" "Will they want relocation costs?" "Will they back out last minute?" YOUR RESUME ANSWERS... "Relocating to Austin, TX — March 2026" "Partner already employed in Austin" "No relocation assistance required" "Available for immediate interviews" We address every concern before they can say no.

How We Position
Your Relocation

Your resume and cover letter need to address the elephant in the room — directly but strategically.

  • Address It Upfront: Don't hide your location — address it. Your cover letter explains why you're moving and signals commitment.
  • Show Local Connections: Family there? Previous experience in that market? Any tie to the location helps. We highlight whatever connections exist.
  • Remove Friction: Make it easy to hire you. We address relocation timing, interview availability, and flexibility.

STRATEGIES WE USE "Relocating to [City] in [Month]" in header Cover letter explaining your commitment Use local address if you have family there Highlight previous experience in region Signal flexibility on start dates

What We Need
To Know

To position your relocation effectively, we need to understand your situation, timeline, and connections.

  • Why Are You Moving? Family? Partner's job? Lifestyle? Cost of living? The reason matters for your narrative.
  • What's Your Timeline? Already there? Moving in 30 days? Flexible based on offer? Each requires different positioning.
  • Any Local Ties? Family, friends, alumni network, previous work experience — all help build credibility.
  • Relocation Assistance? Do you need it? Willing to waive it? This affects how we position you.

"What draws you to this city?" "When are you planning to move?" "Do you have connections there?" "Is your timeline flexible?" Your answers shape how we position your move

Every Relocation Is Different

We tailor our approach based on your specific situation.

Cross-Country Move: Moving from coast to coast within the same country. We emphasize your commitment and flexibility, and use any connections to the new region.
International Relocation: Moving to a new country. Work authorization is key — we highlight your visa status or citizenship. Cultural fit matters too.
Return to Home City: Coming back after years away. This is the easiest story to tell — you're going home. We leverage your roots and local network.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use a local address on my resume?

If you have a legitimate connection (family, friend's address where you could stay), yes. If not, don't fake it — address the relocation directly instead.

Should I mention relocation in my resume or cover letter?

Both. A brief note in your resume header ("Relocating to Austin, TX — March 2026") plus fuller explanation in your cover letter.

What if I'm not sure when I'm moving?

That uncertainty can hurt you. Employers want committed candidates. We'll discuss how to frame your timeline to signal commitment while maintaining flexibility.

Should I apply before I move or wait?

Start applying 2-3 months before your move. Waiting until you arrive means you're unemployed and job searching — not ideal.

Do you help with international relocations?

Yes. We can address work authorization, visa status, and cross-cultural positioning. International moves require extra care in messaging.

Do you help with LinkedIn too?

Yes. LinkedIn Optimization is available as an add-on. Your LinkedIn location settings and headline should support your relocation story.
