THE COMMUNITY
Only after significant mutual interest is established or an actual job offer
is in hand should you ask questions about the community where you
will be living and working. The precious time of the interview is better
spent on establishing mutual interest. There will be ample time to collect
this information after the interview. Of course, the company will have
a lot of material promoting the community in which it operates. But also
collect independent information from real estate agents, chambers of
commerce, and other responsible agencies. The following is a checklist
of issues you should be conversant with as you and your family make a
decision. Most of these issues deal with cost.
