I'm starting to look for a job as a military spouse and could use some help finding the right websites. Are there any specific job boards or websites dedicated to jobs for military spouses?
Sure, there are some resources available that specifically aim to assist military spouses in finding employment. Here are some:
1) USA Jobs: This U.S. federal government's official employment site includes a section for military spouse employment.
2) Military Spouse Corporate Career Network (MSCCN): This non-profit organization provides employment opportunities and job portability for military spouses.
3) Hiring Our Heroes: This U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation initiative offers various tools for military spouses, including a job portal, networking events, and professional development resources.
4) Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP): Part of the Department of Defense Spouse Education and Career Opportunities (SECO) program, MSEP connects military spouses with hundreds of partner employers.
5) LinkedIn's Military and Veteran Programs: LinkedIn offers a free 1-year premium career subscription for military spouses during a move or within six months post-separation from the military. This includes access to LinkedIn Learning as well.
Each of these sites offers different opportunities, so I'd recommend exploring each one to see what suits your needs best. Also, it's important to leverage local resources since many military-friendly employers advertise directly with military installations.
Good luck with your job search!
