Transportation planning is part of evaluating an offer, particularly when shifts start before common transit hours. Test the actual commute rather than relying only on distance.
Put it into practice
- Confirm the exact reporting location and start time with the employer.
- Check the route at the hours you would travel and identify a realistic backup.
- Account for parking, walking time, and any movement between work sites.
Make the next step count
A nearby job can still be difficult to reach if the available route does not match the schedule. Discuss logistics before accepting and avoid promising availability you cannot maintain. Revisit the plan if your location or shift changes.
