Self Storage from Storitz.com Can Mean Stress-Free Relocation for Job Hunters

LOS ANGELES, CA, January 20, 2011 (Press-News.org) Though economists insist that the recession has been officially over for more than a year now, with the unemployment rate still hovering around 9% (Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics), many Americans are still feeling its effects. However, experts are predicting growth of close to 2 million jobs in 2011 (Source: CNN.com). This will be the biggest number of jobs added in the U.S. since 1995.

Due to the expense of relocation and the stagnant housing market, many job seekers have found it prohibitively expensive to relocate if they find a job in another location (Source: Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc.). The cost of renting or buying a new home coupled with the expensive endeavor of moving all of one's things a long distance can be too much for an average consumer to bear. Renting self storage can help a potential employee be able to move with fewer expenses. For instance, someone with a 3 bedroom house could store two of those bedrooms in a 10x10 storage unit from Storitz for $80 per month. By only moving one bedroom worth of items, a consumer could save up to $4000 in moving costs (Source: FAS Relocation Network).

With many employers utilizing probationary periods in the current job climate, this solution makes both logistical and financial sense. Should the job not continue, those excess moving expenses will not have been wasted. If the relocation ends up being permanent, stored items have been protected and secure and are easily shipped to a new location to be stored in a new home or in a new storage facility.

Finally, a new employee may be forced to move into temporary housing, or to travel to a different location for pre-employment training. Renting storage can be a way to prevent paying rent in two locations or the stress of renting out one's residence without being able to remove one's most precious things. Storage is a safe, secure and affordable way to keep track of one's belongings during this transition.

Adrian Comstock, Chief Executive Officer of Storitz Inc., previously the VP and Director of Operations for Magellan Storage, notes "Storage is about having flexibility in your life. The rising costs of relocation are presenting an unnecessary burden to the average consumer in a time when finding employment ought be the number one priority. With self storage, consumers can drastically reduce this cost and concern, freeing themselves to travel to wherever they can find employment, increasing their odds of employment and decreasing the associated stress of relocation."

Storitz.com rents available storage units across North America.

As opposed to the traditional method of using phone books and directory listings to call multiple facilities to find the best deal only to find that the terms of the deal have changed when you arrive at the property, Storitz allows consumers to not just reserve, but to rent a unit near their home or near future place of employment,. Storitz also empowers the consumer to choose the exact unit that they will rent and pay for their initial rental unit without ever leaving the comfort of their own home..

Simplifying the rental and shopping process makes it easy for those who are relocating to find the storage that suits their needs at a moment's notice because when the perfect job is waiting for you, you don't want your stuff to be holding you back.
