Military Spouse Preference Program?
Hi everyone!
Has anyone had any experience with the Military Spouse Preference Program? I'm searching for jobs online and came across a few postings for Kings Bay. This was mentioned in the application process.
If you've had experience, do you know how I go about doing all of this stuff?
Thanks :-)
Re: Military Spouse Preference Program?
I'm enrolled in the program here in San Diego. So far, more than a year later, its not yielded me a job. I had to go to Fleet & Family and fill out some paperwork there. The way I understood the program was that if there is a job opening that you and a non-spouse are equaly qualified for that you'd get the leg up. Its not a sure-fire thing for a job and there are other caveats to it (can only be in a certain amount of time at each station, if you get a DoD job of any kind you are pulled from the program until you move again, etc).
All-in-all I'd say go for it. Can't hurt and the job market blows so any advantage you can get you should take.

Hi Stan! :-)
Thanks for the advice everyone. I figure it can't hurt. I was just at the eye bleeding point of applying online last night so I wanted to figure out what else could help me!
I've been a teacher for 7 years so applying for a teaching position is pretty straight forward. This is my first time applying outside of a school and it's mind blowing to me!
