Grow with Google is announcing the results of a collaborative effort with Hiring our Heroes to identify specific employment challenges military spouses face and present recommendations for viable solutions during the virtual 2020 Military Spouse Employment Summit, on September 17. The research led to the creation of the Military Spouse Career Roadmap, which is an interactive hub that combines a variety of tools and resources to support military spouses in building careers that move with them.
You can search “jobs for veterans” on Google and enter your military occupation code (MOS, AFSC, NEC or rating) to see relevant civilian jobs that require similar skills to those used in your military roles.
You can enter your military occupation code or search for work from home jobs on the career sites of companies like Siemens, veteran and military community job sites like RecruitMilitary and Getting Hired, and job boards like CareerBuilder. Any job site can use this Google technology through Cloud Talent Solution to display relevant job postings for transitioning service members, veterans, and military spouses.
