Key takeaways
- As a military spouse, there are times when you feel extra pressure, and you might have to put your career in second place.
- Just like some military folks who have a hard time separating the identity of the uniform when finishing their services, military spouses find it difficult when they have to take breaks from the workforce, take an underemployed and overqualified position, and have gaps in their resumes.
- A civilian employer might find it tough to understand why a military spouse wants to take an entry-level job when she has a master's degree and work experience.
- Laura started The Operation Freelance organization to help military spouses find freelance and remote career opportunities.
- In Operation Freelance, Laura focuses on helping beginners get their very first clients by teaching them how to pitch themselves, write a proposal, negotiate contracts, build a marketing plan, etc. It's the 101 of just getting started and diving in there.
- There are two routes military spouses can take to address some of the career challenges they face. One is becoming an entrepreneur and working for yourself, and the second is becoming a remote employee.
