Finding a Job

Hey!

I'm getting ready to move with my husband to the San Diego base. Will the Navy help me find a job out there? Is it easy getting one on base?

Thanks!

It seems like we are in the same boat. We are moving to San Diego soon, I hope to be out there by August, my sailor will be out there at the end of this month. I am a new Navy wife… however not a new wife, we have been married for 6 years. So I am curious to these questions as well as many others!

Thanks!

When you get here, just go over to the Fleet and Family Support Center, they can help you out with all that kinda job-searching stuff. They also give you a "welcome" packet with a map of the base, stuff about San Diego, etc. Their building is located behind the housing office and personal property office, on the dry side not far from the Navy Lodge. You could probably give them a call also and talk to them about jobs as well.

I just go in there a lot to make copies and print stuff, and they have big boards up in the halls that are full of job postings.

Hope this helps!! If you have any other questions feel free to message me!

Fleet and Family Services does not find jobs for you but gives you tools to find jobs. They have a job board and computers for you to search for jobs (all things I can do at home.) When I spoke to them, they made it clear that they do not find jobs for you or do job placements. I have a Masters in Social Work and have been here since December. I have not had any luck finding jobs. There are lots of resources online for military spouses to search for jobs if that helps.
