9 Ways Being a Military Spouse Can Get You a Job

5) We’re versatile and capable of working with diverse groups of people

This really is marketable. I once got a job as a manager at McDonalds (don’t laugh, it paid well over minimum wage and I was unmarried and pregnant) based simply on my ability to work with a wide range of diverse people. This “ability” came from my time in the Marine Corps. It was all they looked at on my resume- the part where I listed that as a skill. So with a general discharge and an incomplete education, new to town and no contacts, and a chunk of “time off” within the near future a necessity, I was hired on the spot because I could work with diverse people.

Similarly, less than six months after getting the job at McDonalds (and finding myself suddenly married and sent to live in South Dakota), I landed a job as a substitute teacher because of my versatility. Able to work around sudden schedule changes, willing to see past the “unplanned emergency” and prepared to jump in and take the reins also got me hired on the spot with Meade County Department of Education. Versatility is underrated.
