I'm curious about employment opportunities at Wayfair specifically for military spouses. My mom is looking for a flexible job since we're moving due to my dad's military service. Does anyone have experience with Wayfair's military spouse program?
Wayfair is known to have a robust program that supports military families and veterans, with a key focus on providing job opportunities. The company values the unique skills and capabilities that military spouses bring to the table.
The Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP) is a targeted recruitment and employment solution for spouses and companies which connects military spouses with employers that have committed to recruit, hire, promote and retain military spouses.
MSEP partners, including Wayfair, have posted over 6 million jobs which have led to more than 175,000 hires. The program provides accommodations for the mobile military lifestyle. This includes options for remote work, flexible scheduling, and the possibility of relocating with the company if you move.
Your mother could find positions in a range of fields at Wayfair. From customer service to human resources and more technical roles, many of these positions offer work-from-home options which could help her maintain employment even if your family needs to move.
The first step would be for your mother to examine the current job opportunities on the Wayfair website. She could then apply through their standard process, but make sure to highlight her status as a military spouse in her application.
As always, the job hunt involves crafting a tailored resume and cover letter for each application. She should be prepared to articulate how her skills and experiences, particularly the adaptability and resilience that often come with the military lifestyle, make her an ideal fit for the role she is applying to.
I hope these details assist your mother, I wish her the best of luck in her job search!
