Military Spouses Thrive with Coaching

Use coaching to address the following professional challenges that can occur for spouses in the military lifestyle:

Starting and stopping your career with each PCS
Dissatisfaction with current work
Shifting to another career
Pursuing a degree/going back to school
Re-crafting your career to make it more portable
Re-entering your career after having not been engaged in it for a period of time

Tips for managing professional challenges

Be present in your community. Be open to striking up conversations with people. It could produce a career-related lead.
Carry professionally produced copies of your resume/vita with you. You may decide to add a cover page describing your professional background, experiences and unique skills. Put this information in envelopes, and keep them in your vehicle. You may create an opportunity to give your resume/vita to a potential lead.
Attend professional meetings (local, regional, and national) that relate to your career field or the career that you are interested in pursuing. Be sure to have your resume/vita with you.
Develop a relationship with a local mentor to facilitate connection to career opportunities in your area and to offer guidance and encouragement.
Talk openly with your spouse about what you want and need for your career and professional identity.
