I was clicking through some of the team's profile and Anothony Pelosi ticked "Willing To Relocate: Yes" on his resume on dice.com. Obviously, this shouldn't be taken at face value. The truth is, no employeee is willing to relocate unless it's obviously beneficial to them, which is not always the case.
There's a huge difference between "Willing to Relocate" and "Willing to Relocate anywhere". I currently live in Pittsburgh, and I'd be willing to relocate anywhere on the East Coast between Charlotte, N.C. and Boston. Most of my family and friends are out east, so I'm not willing to relocate to the midwest or the west coast or abroad.
So being willing to relocate but having restrictions doesn't make Mr. Pelosi a hypocrite
I don't think I ever implied he was a hypocrite. I was just pointing out that, although people are willing to relocate, it can't be taken at face value.
There are many, many details about relocation that cannot be told via a single checkbox. Is the relocation sponsored? Does employer provide a temporary place to live in? How far is the relocation? Is it relocation within the same state / country / continent? How many people do you know in the area of the company?
