Employment gaps have plagued military spouses over the decades and prevented many of them from securing employment. This issue alone has left many very qualified military spouses either unemployed or underemployed. Equipped with the right resume and armed with the tips below, every military spouse can land that next job!
There is no doubt that surviving a deployment is HARD. And unfortunately, going to school is hard too—so you put the two together and it can seem impossible.

Relocations can be challenging for military spouses, but with new assignments come opportunities to live in many parts of the country and even the world—and the chance to meet new people along the way. While life as a military spouse is certainly exciting, it can be difficult for military spouses to develop a career and hold the same job for a long period of time.
Confession: I was once a workaholic.
My husband was on his first deployment, and I have no children. It was like destiny.
