Hi there! The following is the the continuation of my last post on Travel Day.
Planning
To get your assignment started on the right foot, it’s important that you have a plan. Start with a list of all of the major components of your assignment. Break your overall plan into categories and address them one at a time. For example, on your assignment you’ll need to:
Pack – develop a system to pack what you need & leave room to bring some new things home
Travel – arrangements to and from your assignment, and in between your shifts
Sleep – move in & out dates & procedures, utilities, contact info, emergency numbers, etc.
Work – map the location, determine travel time, your shifts, supervisor names, & contact information
Eat & Play – find the nearest supermarkets and restaurants you’d like to try before you leave
Stay Close to Home – Take care of the things that you can’t ignore for 13 weeks – family, finances, pets, etc.
In my next posts, we’ll go through each one and share a few tips our travelers have picked up over the years. To read the full article now, click here.
