Hi all! I'm new here! :)

just a quick Question

could the following words be interchangable and are they grammaticly correct?

Ie - Find a job close by home

I have been using the former would that be considered incorrect english?

thanks for your help!

Either 'Find a job close to home.' or 'Find a job close by.' (not by home) are correct.
