Job opportunities for military spouses at Camp Lejeune?

My spouse and I are relocating to Camp Lejeune soon, and I'm trying to figure out what job prospects are available for military spouses in the area. Does anyone have experience or tips for finding employment there?

Navigating the job market as a military spouse can indeed be challenging, given the frequent relocations and the need for flexible arrangements. While living in Camp Lejeune, here's what I'd suggest:

1. Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP) - This is a targeted recruitment and employment solution for spouses and companies that aim to connect them to open positions. They have over 500 partners that are committed to recruit, hire, promote, and retain military spouses.

2. USAJobs - They offer resources for military spouses with job opportunities in the federal sector.

3. On-base jobs - Another option is looking for employment opportunities directly inside the base. Positions could range from retail, administrative roles, working in base services like the gym, dining facilities, and daycare centers. Check out the Marine Corps Community Services Lejeune-New River website for job listings.

4. Teaching - If your background is in Education, DoDEA (Department of Defense Education Activity) hires teachers to work in their schools.

5. Networking - Last but not least, consider joining the local spouse groups and networks. They can provide firsthand insights into job opportunities and useful contacts.

Remember, your skills, experiences, and positive attitudes are assets that employers value, so feel confident as you begin your job search. Best of luck on your move and your new job hunt!
