As milspouses, we may struggle with our own career and education goals as we simultaneously run our households and support our service members’ careers. But thankfully, you don’t have to put all your goals and dreams on hold.
Here at Mission: Milspouse, we want to give you the tools to make your dreams happen. From resume tips, to programs geared toward new career paths for spouses, our Career and Education category has you covered.
We have a cadre of bloggers who share their insights on job search, resume writing, different career choices for spouses, and tons of other resources ready to land you that career that moves with you.
The United Service Organizations (USO) is partnering with Veterati, a digital mentorship platform for the military community, to launch the USO Career Mentorship offering. This new resource will connect transitioning service members and military spouses with professionals in their industry of interest and help them navigate meaningful career paths.
Negotiating can be awkward to navigate, especially for those who have never had to stretch that muscle before, but with some preparation and practice, a smooth and successful negotiation process is possible.
Can you imagine starting to look for a house or school districts before you even know your family’s next duty location? Apply this logic to your job search, too.
How can you start applying for jobs before knowing your brand and value in the job market? Whenever possible, clicking “apply” should be one of the last steps in your job search following self-assessments, targeting specific companies, researching, and networking.
There are niche interviews all across the job market. However, there are standard interview questions we all prepare for as we get ready to sit across from our (hopefully) new boss and sell our skills, trying to strike the perfect balance between humble and confident.
I used to dream of remote work. Not only to mitigate the earning gaps around each PCS, but as someone who is a homebody, I knew I could do some of my best work in a good pair of yoga pants and slippers without leaving my house.
I am so grateful that, as our next move approaches, I can take my laptop and my job with Hire Heroes USA with me. I know what a huge game-changer remote work can be for you, too. I’m here to walk you through some tactical tips, so you can enjoy writing emails and taking conference calls without ever having to put on shoes.
Do you feel defeated choosing battle lines on the virtual learning front with your children over the past year? I have some thoughts on that, but first, how I got there.
Having left Facebook several years ago due to the incivility that was present (how tame those days were), I eventually found my way back to the social media platform. It wasn’t due to FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). It wasn’t because I regretted my decision. Hardly.
No, it was because the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, gymnastics, and a host of youth sports teams only communicated to families through Facebook.
