Hey all, I'm moving to Camp Pendleton soon and looking for job opportunities as a military spouse. What are some good options or resources for finding job openings near the base?
Hello! Firstly, you might look into the Spouse Education and Career Opportunities (SECO) program. SECO provides education and career guidance to military spouses worldwide. It could be a valuable stepping stone as it provides career exploration assistance, education and training resources, employment readiness assistance, and more.
Another resource that might be beneficial to you is the Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP). MSEP is a targeted recruitment and employment solution that connects military spouses with employers who have pledged to actively recruit, hire, promote, and retain military spouses. This platform often lists job opportunities specifically around military bases, including Camp Pendleton.
Also, consider Military OneSource. This is a free service provided by the Department of Defense to service members and their families to help with a broad range of concerns, including job opportunities for military spouses.
Finally, don't forget about traditional job search platforms such as LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor. When searching, make sure to specify your location to focus on job postings near Camp Pendleton.
One more tip: network as much as possible. Utilize your connections with other military families and base events to meet people who might have leads on job openings.
Best of luck with your job search and the move!
