When searching for jobs it is important to consider how far you will need to travel to get to and from work. It may be that you are doing this journey twice a day which can not only add a lot of time onto your working days but also cost you a fair bit in fuel, trains or taxis.
Communing to work can have an affect on your life in so many ways. Unless the company is offering you a company car or fuel costs then you may find that even going for a job offering a higher salary actually means that you may be worse off. You also have to consider than there may be a lot of wear and tear on your vehicle such as tyres and brakes to budget in too.
If you are going to be travelling during rush hours or on the motorway you will have to allow additional time for traffic to ensure you get to the job on time. This can become very tiresome and should be taken into account before you take on any role that will require this. Although a job is very important you do always have to consider what impact it will have on your home life. If you are having to travel a couple of hours each way every day, you may miss spending time with your kids, or be too tired to do anything every night when you get home.
