To Move or Not To Move. When considering whether or not to accept a position that requires a move there are several "unknowns" that you must address. Here are three links that we find helpful when advising our candidates on best practices in making a considered decision as to career growth. These are only three of the critical issue areas with which to wrestle when deciding on a strategic career move.

http://www.greatschools.net - Ok, you have selected a city. If you have children, then what are the best schools and where are they in the city you have chosen? BEFORE you buy a home, get all the facts about schools in that neighborhood.
