Military Spouse: Any advice when looking for a job?

We just moved to our first base, Fort Bragg. I am looking for at least a part time job but I am having no real luck. I am also concerned about getting a job at this point because my husband has a leave coming in June for three weeks...I can't imagine an employer will give me three weeks off right away. Any advice?Military Spouse: Any advice when looking for a job?
Wait until after your husbands leave..Military Spouse: Any advice when looking for a job?
1st off it's tough doin this in any case and especially goin to ask ur employer for a week or two off in the near future, but usually people near and around military installation understand the situation with deployment and the little time that soldiers do get to spend with their families.. Belive me I know I'm a military spouse I was prior Navy but now am an Electrician living the Army lifestyle.. And it really tough dealing with the day to day politics of day care and everything else.. Especially when the soldier cannot get time off to take care of some responsibilities.. But here's what I suggest.. Try to go on craigslist.com and find some jobs in the area starting out with Part-Time and moving onto Fulltime after you know ur schedules and are used to the way things are goin to work.. You should try and find an employer who will take consideration that you are a military spouse and situaions will arise from time to time that are unavoidable..





Hope I could help..

You should check out usajobs.gov. These are govt jobs and there are some located in Fayetteville. If your husband is ever sent to another base you will have a better opportunity to transfer jobs especially if you can find a job with the Dept of Veterans Affairs. They are use to dealing with military personnel who have been deployed so chances are they will work with you on a start date.
Not sure what you education or job experience is but check into MWR, GS jobs or AAFES they will give preference to Military spouses. Go to the career center on post. You can also ';take your job with you'; when you have to move.
