ARTICLEGetting Ready to Re-enter the Workforce
3 minute read • Sept. 29, 2021Whether you’ve been out of the workforce for a short while or it’s been a number of years, it can be challenging to re-enter that world. Work environments and culture can change quickly. Brushing up on the latest technological advancements employers are using is a great first step. Familiarizing yourself with technology will help ease the transition into the workforce and provide you with much more marketable skills.
FlexJobs for Spouses
Find a job that fits your MilLife with a free one-year membership to FlexJobs, a leading career site featuring flexible and remote job openings.
Social media
Social media is a powerful business tool for companies and for job seekers as well. Get to know companies that interest you through various social media platforms. These social media sites can be a good way to learn about a company’s culture:
Virtual workspaces
Be prepared to work in a virtual workspace where coworkers and clients meet without being in the same physical place.
Visit the links below to get more information and to view demonstrations on virtual meeting places:
Telework
Telework allows an employee to work from home and can be a way for companies to cut some expenses. Many industries offer part-time and full-time telework opportunities, like customer service and support, sales, editorial/creative and technology development.
The tools required for telework include:
- A computer
- A high-speed internet connection
- Appropriate software
- A telephone
- A phone headset
A virtual office is where the employee is hired remotely and works from home. A number of the Military Spouse Employment Partnership employers offer spouses the opportunity to work from virtual offices 100 percent of the time. Find information about companies offering virtual positions through the Military Spouse Employment Partnership Job Search.
Updating your skills
The entire hiring process may be carried out through the internet (searching for and applying for a job online, interviewing, scanning and submitting required documents and contracts), so you will want to be comfortable with basic internet applications before you begin your job search. It is also important to be familiar with the current version of standard industry tools for word processing, email communication and spreadsheets.
If you’re interested in learning more about the technologies listed above, consider signing up for some classes. Many schools, libraries and other organizations offer free or low-cost training on computers and computer software applications. You can also take specialized courses to obtain certifications for many software applications.
If you have questions, would like additional information or personalized assistance with employment or education opportunities, call Military OneSource at 800-342-9647 or View calling options to talk with a Spouse Education and Career Opportunities career counselor.
