Traveling to a new city every 13 weeks can be overwhelming and exhausting. Between learning your way around the city, starting a new job, and making friends, you may not know where to even start. Planning ahead and coordinating with your Aureus Account Manager can make all the difference. Here are a few tips to help with the adjustment.
- Research the Chamber of Commerce website associated with the city you will be living and working in. Click here to find both state and local Chambers of Commerce, Convention Centers, Visitor Bureaus and Tourist Boards in the United States. These websites can offer helpful information regarding seasonal activities that will make your travel assignment more enjoyable.
- Do a little research about the facility in which you will be working. Familiarizing yourself with the hospital’s services and location makes you look informed on your first day.
- Coordinate with your Account Manager about housing options. Aureus Medical utilizes our in-house corporate housing agency, Aurhomes, to manage all the details of your housing in order to make your travel experience worry-free.
- Get out and explore! You find some of the best spots in the city by accident. A great way to meet people in a new city is through the website MeetUp. On this free website you can search for groups of people sharing similar interests/hobbies.
Hopefully these tips will be helpful when planning to embark on your next travel assignment and make it a little less overwhelming.
