Bonus: Boldly Hires MilSpouses for Remote Work!
Leslie and Britni chat with Devin Drake, fellow milspouse and Recruitment Manager at Boldly. Find out what kind jobs, experience, and what you need to do to apply for a job at Boldly!
Why Military Spouses Love Working with Boldly
For some it's taking their job with them wherever their latest posting takes them. For some it's maintaining their own career in a role that fits their flexible lifestyle. For everyone it's the competitive pay, the flexible schedule and work focused on their area of expertise: executive assistance, book-keeping, marketing, project-management etc. The Boldly team understands family commitment and values the skills you have to offer.
Feeling Homesick (& PCS-ing during a Pandemic)
In the Season 4 opener, Leslie & Britni discuss how you can feel homesick for a duty station you thought you hated...until you moved away. What do you do when you feel homesick?
Also discussed is the difficulty of PCS-ing during a pandemic. Normally, we advise to "get involved with the community and meet people", but that's exactly what you're NOT supposed to do during this time of the "New Normal". Moving to a new (or returning) can be stressful and lonely, and is amplified during this time of social isolation. What are some ways to feel better?
