Modern Military Spouse, Modern Career4/12/2021 Modern corporate life is tricky to navigate, but some aspects now lend themselves to working for military spouses in ways it hasn’t in the past. On average, an employee only stays at companies for around four years, according to Indeed. For a long time, the short two-year stays at duty stations made it difficult for military spouses to find employment at organizations that were searching for employees who would stay at their organizations for a long time. Employees now realize that the path to career advancement may happen by moving between different organizations. It’s not uncommon for employees to move every 2-4 years. Keep in mind that you will want to try to stay at an organization for at least a year, so those short 6 to 9 month PCS’s can be more difficult. If you are looking at a short PCS or your next duty station has a job desert, you may want to look into remote work. The switch to remote work that many organizations are making is a perfect opportunity for many military spouses. Since the pandemic hit the United States last year, organizations have realized that many employees may not be interested in returning to the workplace. When you look at a remote position, keep in mind time zones as some organizations may want to work hours in a certain time zone. You’ll also want to double-check with local laws at your duty station. Spouse6 Careers is dedicated to featuring legitimate remote positions with organizations that are invested in hiring military spouses.
