How to find jobs on military bases?

Are there specific resources or websites I should look at to find jobs available on military bases? I'm considering applying for work near where my parents are stationed.

There are several resources you can look at to find jobs on military bases. Starting with the federal government's official job site, USAJobs (www.usajobs.gov), can be very helpful. This website lists all federal job openings, which include positions on military bases.

Another useful resource can be the individual websites of each branch of the military. For example, the Army, Navy, and Air Force often have job vacancies listed on their official websites.

Similarly, the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) and the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) are essentially the retailers and grocers for the U.S. military. They typically have job openings in many categorizations such as retail, logistics, and management.

Additionally, jobs that work in conjunction with military environments, like private government contractors or NGOs, can also be found on regular job platforms like LinkedIn or Indeed. Just be sure to filter your searches by your desired location and job category.

When applying for these jobs, keep in mind that the process can sometimes be quite competitive, possibly requiring clearances or specific military related knowledge or experiences. Be sure to tailor your resume and cover letter according to the job requirements and qualifications. Remember that the hiring process for government jobs can be lengthy, so patience is key.

Finally, networking can be very beneficial in this area. Leveraging connections you might already have due to your parents' stationing could give you a foot in the door. Talk to them and their colleagues to see if they might know any insider information about job vacancies or hiring processes.
