Making the big move. What do I need?

Sign in to disble this ad
Alright guys, I'm moving out to L.A. NEXT summer, so i'm just wondering all the stuff I need to get in order for the move down to L.A.

The thing I can see being the biggest problem is a work visa for a Canadian citizen working in California. Does anyone know anything about that?

Also, is it possible to land a job BEFORE moving out? I have my American lifeguarding, so ideally i'd like to land a job guarding out there.

I do have a place to stay for a while (Shut your face, Maki) until I get my feet on the ground.

Any tips?

Having a place to stay, and paying rent through services to all the pretty boys of West Hollywood, are miles apart in their definitions.

It sounds like Mark and Maki have a "thing" going! And Maki, I've asked you nicely to change your avatar, every time I see it, it scares the **** out of me!

I got my job in Seattle, WA before moving out here from PA. A lot of companies who will consider employees who are far away will accommodate with telephone interviews. Some even will help pay for relocation.

but, that's US to US.

I assume it'd be different for Canada to U.S.

do you know what part of LA you're moving to, or are you just going to fly into LAX and figure it out?

The place I have to stay is in *sigh* West Hollywood, as mentioned before by Maki

I'm sure WEHO will treat you well....

I would craigslist it and search for some decent places before you go. Be ready to pay out the nose (or other orifices) for rent. I would save up as much loonies as possible. Are you bringing a car?

That's going to be my big purchase this summer.
Gonna buy a car, then move down. Apparently you NEED a car to live down there.

Make sure you bring your party dress. West Hollywood loves to role out the carpet for their queens.

I sincerely hope the tragic comedy that is Failson never comes to a close.

Also, why are you headed out to there?
