Use temporal address or wait until it’s permanent

[Inten Utari 0]

Hello everyone,

I live in Florida, I have never worked in the US yet and I plan to move to Austin, Texas soon and meanwhile searching for a new apartment to rent, I’m going to stay in an airbnb and also searching for a new job. 

 

What do you guys think the address that I should put on my resume and job application ?

 

Should I put airbnb’s address even though I won’t be able to receive anything there after I move into the new apartment?

 

Or should I wait until I sign a lease and use the new address even if I haven’t moved in yet?

 

Or should I just use my current out of state address and somehow make a note that im currently in Austin and ready to work but haven’t moved into my new apartment yet?

 

Thank you so much for your attention

For the resume just write down City/Town + State (Austin, Texas). You can update when you get you permanent address. For mailing purposes, you can get a PO box, and then again, update when you get the permanent one.

Yeah, no employer will want your exact address during the application phase.  They will need it however if they decide to hire you.

I'ven been told not to include a home address in USA resumes. This used to be mandatory bc in the past it was the only way for employers to contact the candidate - via letter. Nowadays, people usually include phone number and email. 

 

If this is a job in a small city - they might want to know if you live close... but also they can't discriminate against you living far away...

 

See this post for pros and cons. Good luck on your job search!
