How does MSEP help with jobs through Military OneSource?

I've heard that the Military Spouse Employment Partnership can assist with finding jobs through Military OneSource. Can anyone share how effective it is and how to get started?

The Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP) indeed works hand in hand with Military OneSource to support military spouses in their career advancement. It's a part of the Department of Defense's Spouse Education and Career Opportunities (SECO) program.

MSEP is a targeted recruitment and employment solution for spouses and companies that: connects corporate and non-profit sector companies with military spouses who are seeking career opportunities; provides human resource professionals with recruitment solutions; and prepares military spouses to become competitive, job-ready applicants.

To get started, you'd first want to visit the Military OneSource website and browse through the specific offerings under the MSEP section. Remember, you'll need to create a profile to access the job portal. In the portal, you can search for jobs with partner employers using criteria such as location and industry. There's also the option to set job alerts for certain criteria to keep you updated on new openings that match your specifications.

Numerous military spouses have found the MSEP program to be quite effective, and it has been instrumental in helping them secure employment. Worth noting is that the effectiveness often also depends on the individual's qualifications, job market in their area, and the amount of time and effort put into the job search.

Investigating the resources available on the site, attending webinars and making use of career counseling services offered through Military OneSource could be very beneficial. Utilize these resources to improve your job search skills, such as resume crafting, interview techniques, and networking.
