About Me

I'm a newly unemployed Military Spouse, looking for new job opportunities while dealing with the trauma of being sexually harassed by another female who apparently is going to get away with it. I'm standing here looking at the career I love going down the drain without being able to do anything. I have decided to make he best out of it and assist other military spouses that for many different reasons are jobless and looking for new employment or training opportunities.
