Marketing yourself for the job
Here are a couple of ways to show potential employers you are a great candidate:
Capitalize on your skills. Highlight your life experiences that translate into on-the-job skills. For example, as a military spouse, you've probably learned to be adaptable, resilient and culturally aware. Employers covet these qualities.
Let them know where you've used those specific skills. You could show how, after a move, you had to establish a new network of contacts in your community. Let this be an example of building networking and communication skills.
The Military Spouse Employment Partnership is here to help.
