7 GOOD REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE A SOLDIER’S SPOUSE.

Hey all!

I know it’s been a while…….. I’ve been crazy busy with life. I recently spent a few months in a military barracks and observed something significant. Over time, I have realized that 85% of Nigerian soldiers’ spouses are unemployed.

This is disheartening.

I wonder why separation, instability, housing, and security are openly discussed as concerns of soldiers’ spouses, while unemployment is often not mentioned.

Soldiers’ wives and husbands worldwide have shockingly high unemployment rates. The main reasons are scarcity of jobs and frequent moves.

This is quite a struggle and burden to such soldiers’ families.

Seven good Reasons why you should hire a Soldier’s Spouse

We are selfless

The military has a culture of “SERVICE BEFORE SELF.” Soldiers’ wives and husbands share this culture as well. Being a soldier’s spouse entails a lot of sacrifices which will surely rub off anywhere.

You just can’t beat our personality. We have a great attitude, typically loyal, patient, and patriotic. This means we will always work to achieve the aim of the task at hand and not work to crave attention.

We are adaptable and flexible.

It takes so much for most civilian employees to be flexible and patient. Soldiers’ spouses have learned to be just that way out of necessity. We don’t have a traditional lifestyle, and we constantly adapt to change in real-time…We roll with the punches.

If you seek employees who navigate change instead of becoming incapacitated, hire the soldier’s spouse and get impressed!

We are highly educated, intelligent, competent, and motivated

Soldiers’ spouses are an often overlooked workforce that offers the talents and skills that organizations need. We are among the best hires your organization can have because we have broad and diverse skills that are often left off resumes.

For instance, I often don’t include my health and safety qualifications in my resume when I apply for Information Technology jobs (or vice versa) even though I’m a professional in both fields.

We are potential employees that can bring a lot to your organization. Why wouldn’t you hire the soldier’s spouse?

We can see sunshine in the middle of the night

We are good managers of stress.

Often, our lives are filled with pressure and transitions, but we are an enthusiastic group of people who always grab hold of a supernatural rope of hope in the darkest hours. We are a resilient group of people who can easily apply stress management techniques in the workplace. This unique trait can motivate everyone in your organization.

If you want employees who can successfully keep their cool under pressure with so much grace, why don’t you consider and try to attract and hire the soldier’s spouse today?

We have strong problem-solving skills.

Every day we solve logistical, interpersonal, financial, and communication problems at a moment’s notice. We are so used to it. We are excellent multi-taskers and run the homefront alone, so we can easily apply our problem-solving skills in the workplace.

Isn’t your organization missing out on this great workforce?

We have experienced a lot!

This is because we’ve been to different places and know many people from other geographical areas. Most of us are members of organizations in countries we have lived in or visited. We can work with all manner of people in all sorts of situations.

Aside from that, the military community is made up of people from different backgrounds, states, and different beliefs. So, mixing up with all people is just like our everyday life!

And don’t forget we know how to treat people respectfully and are diplomatic.

Whether hiring for a full-time or part-time position, consider hiring a soldier’s spouse because they have a good interpersonal relationship, making them good team players. This will be advantageous to any organization.
