Work for Military Spouses
Hi all, we are getting ready to PCS to Jacksonville, North Carolina. I recently graduated with my college degree and would love to get my career going. We are concerned because Jacksonville is pretty small and doesn't seem to have much professional opportunity with me. I have been in contact with a couple organizations who try to supply military spouses with remote professional work, but have had no luck yet. I am wondering what any other spouses have gone through regarding this? Wilmington, NC is larger but it is about an hour away from us but that isn't a commute I would love to make. I'm sure there is a place on base designed to help spouses with this too I'm just not sure where to look. I would love to hear about any past experiences and get advice!

Fleet and Family Support Center, FFSC, are the people who can help spouses with job hunting tips and tricks.
Their website seems a little stale, but should give you an idea of what is offered.

My husband and I are currently in Jacksonville. I'm not sure if your husband's duty station is Csmp Lejeune or New River, but they have an employment office for dependents in the TT1 housing area at Lejeune. When I first movrd here i was only able to find jobs for my field in New Bern and Greenville, the travel wasn't really worth it for me. I'm not sure what you went to school for, but if you studied healthcare or administration you can also try working as a contractor on base.

Thanks. We'll be at Lejeune, so I'll look into that. Do you live in TT? We are also looking into living there. My degree is in Communication and public relations, so idealy I'd like to get into Communication marketing but with a Comm degree I could do just about anything even if it isn't my ideal job right away. I'm worried I'll have to resort back to nannying (which I've done for about 5 years) which I enjoy but I'd really like to start a career. Anyway, thank you for your input!

We live in TT. There's TT1 and TT2. The houses at TT2 are a little more modern than TT1 and all the houses in TT2 have a fenced in backyard while TT1 doesn't. I personally love the base housing at TT. Sometimes they have specials where they'll give back a portion of your husband's BAH for the first year. The waitlist is usually not long (if there's even a wait). We got approved for our place the next day and were able to get our keys 3 days after.
