Become a Relocation
Consultant Help
Foreign Employees Get Settled in the U.S. |
|
Relocation Assistance, Inc. (RAI) was founded in
1979 and works with major companies, including Ford Motor Company
and United Technologies Corporation, to help their international
employees (and their families) relocate to the U.S. and integrate
into the local culture. As the world grows smaller and
more U.S. companies search overseas for new talent, a successful
employee relocation process becomes more important because it
reflects on the company doing the hiring. RAI
helps relocate 3,000 people a year to the U.S. and is accepting
resumes from those who would like to become a part-time relocation
consultant in their community.
RAI works to relocate international
employees across the country, but these positions are
not available in every town and city. They
are pay-for-service (independent contractor) jobs and
entail helping new arrivals find housing, open a bank
account, get a driver's license, find insurance and
more. It may also involve helping a spouse find a
job. Cultural issues such as language
barriers, adapting to local customs and health care may
also come into play. New arrivals receive
either a half-day, one day, or two days of accompanied
assistance from a local consultant.
Qualifications for this job include having good communication
skills, research abilities, working computer knowledge and some
customer service experience. Top candidates should be
resourceful, knowledgeable about their local area and have a
flexible schedule, as well as an interest in foreign
cultures. Consultants work from home and need a cell phone,
reliable transportation and access to the Internet and
email. Proficiency with Microsoft Word and Excel is helpful.
