Military Spouse Job Seeker Challenges
Those “married to the military” will be familiar with numerous military spouse job seeker challenges. Janet Farley addresses how to take on these trials with a number of tips.
Periodically self-assess your professional situation. Figure out where you are professionally and determine if that’s where you truly want to be.
