Hi everybody,
I've been thinking a lot lately about moving to a different state. I don't like to stay in the same place for long, Wisconsin is boring, and there isn't much money to be made here. Plus I have no significant other or children, so it's easier for me to move than it is for a lot of people. I'm still not sure if I'm going to move or not. I have a lot of thinking to do.
I know most apartments require you to put a job down on the application, so I would need to find a job before I get an apartment. Should I get hired at a club first so that I have something to put down on the apartment application, and tell them I can't start right away because I am moving? I'm not sure how to really go about this-I could always look for an apartment first, but then I would have to say to the landlord, "I don't have a job right now, but I'm a dancer and I will have a job in a couple of days." I don't think that would fly with most landlords.
I know I could find a job and stay in a hotel until I am approved for an apartment, but then the problem is what to do with all my stuff(furniture, TV, dishes, clothing, etc.) I could rent a U-Haul, but I don't want to. The idea of driving one of those scares me, and I don't like driving long distances anyway. Should I find a job, stay in a hotel room until I find an apartment, and then once my apartment is ready to move into, tell my job that I need a couple days off to go back to Wisconsin to move my stuff? I'm thinking about hiring a moving company. I know they're expensive, but I think it will be worth it for me. I don't want to drive a U-Haul, and I have no one to help me move the heavy furniture anyway.
I thought about selling all my furniture and ordering all new furniture after I get settled in, but I just bought a new couch, chair, and lamp less than a year ago, and I really don't want to get rid of them.
I hope this post makes sense. I'm having a hard time explaining this, and I've only moved a couple of times in my life, so I don't really know what to do. Plus the last time I moved, I wasn't even dancing yet. I lived with my parents until I found a job, and then I moved out.
For anyone who has moved out of state while dancing, did you find a job first or an apartment first? How did you move all your stuff? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.![]()
