Any interviews? I was called in for an interview, only to be called back a couple of hours later to find out that the job had been filled.
What are your biggest obstacles? (Do you have to move back in with your parents? Do you have a mortgage to worry about?) My husband is in the Marine Corp and his current duty station has us living in a small, isolated town with limited job opportunities. I'm finding my education is making me over qualified for most of the jobs in the area and because I have spent so much time in school and I don't meet the experience requirements for the jobs that are in my education range, I'm sort of stuck in limbo.

What do you do all day? Job applications, cleaning, taking care of the house, the dog and my wonderful husband.
Do you have big financial worries -- family obligations? Loans you're supposed to pay back? A growing credit card bill? Student loans, student loans, student loans and a growing credit card bill.
Any final thoughts? I wish there was more job support for military spouses.
