What jobs/careers on base can a navy wife get?
Im about to start some college courses and Im wondering what kind of career would be good for the continuous moving that will happen. I figure a job on base would be acceptable and more efficient.Any ideas or tips for me? Anything is appreciated!!!

As a spouse who has moved cross country twice, and now have had to start my career over twice, my suggestion is not choose a career path that will allow you to find work on base but just to do something you enjoy. Whatever career field you choose, there will probably be some type of position on base that you can work in. While spouses are usually given preference over civilians, you're not guaranteed to get a job on base either so you don't want to limit yourself to those opportunities. If you're interested in seeing what is available on base for jobs, check out this website: http://www.navymwr.org/jobs/ . My advice to you is to choose a career path that really interests you, take an internship while you're in college so you have something to put on your resume when you graduate and network. Make sure you have a LinkedIn profile and you keep it updated, take advantage of volunteer opportunities that you can gain skills from that you can market yourself with - because employers look for not just experience in your field of work but skills you've learned elsewhere that can relate to your field of work - and once you know where your husband will be stationed, start networking via LinkedIn groups and get your name and face out there so you have some connections already. You can always sign up with a staffing agency when you're ready to look for work (it doesn't cost you anything - they are paid by the companies they place workers with), and they will help you work on your resume, interview skills, etc.
