Location is one of the factors that affect employment. When you look for a job, you don’t just choose something that fits your interests and values. You also ask yourself if this particular job you are eyeing is accessible from where you live, either by bus, train or whatever mode of transportation there is.
If accessibility becomes a problem, you have to decide if you will still pursue the job by living in the city where it is located. This is where cost of living enters. Knowing how much it will cost you to live in another city (food prices, gasoline/fare, rent, utility rates, health care, etc.) can help you weigh matters more objectively.
This cost of living calculator from CNNMoney.com could serve as your guide in making that big decision.

Browsing online has now been an easy way to search for jobs. Some get lucky and find jobs while some don’t and some get scammed.
Here’s help in avoiding scams:
1. Easy Money. People don’t get rich overnight. You can’t become a millionaire in a week unless you win the lottery. It takes hard work and perseverance.
2. They make you pay to get the job. Finding a job is free of charge. You do not need to pay anything. The companies will be the one to pay you if you get hired not the other way around.
3. Websites. Professional scammers already know how to make websites. They are really getting good at this. Just because the site looks good doesn’t mean it’s legitimate.
4. Research. Check for information online not just their website. You can do a general search on yahoo or google about the company and you’re bound to find something.
5. Ask around. Ask friends, relatives if they have heard about the company. Testimonials from current and previous employees could also help.
Finally, ask questions as much as you can about the company and the job. If you are not satisfied with the answers then there must be something wrong.
Job scams has become very prevalent and we have to stop this. Follow your intuition and there is nothing wrong in asking around for advice just to be sure before venturing into anything.
