Often, military spouses lack the professional network and local connections required to place their resumes on the top of the heap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But by building a strong LinkedIn profile and engaging presence, military spouses overcome job search challenges to connect with meaningful career opportunities at military-ready employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/stories\/the-power-of-linkedin-and-mspn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Power of LinkedIn and Military Spouse Professional Network<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Specifically, LinkedIn Premium members are 2.6 times more likely to get hired on LinkedIn.

Add Career Breaks to Your Experience Timeline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may be thinking, why would I want to add a career break to my LinkedIn profile? Wouldn&#8217;t that look bad?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cProviding information helps hiring managers to understand your career trajectory,\u201d said Cory Boatwright, Head of Military &amp; Veteran Programs and Partnerships at LinkedIn. \u201cIf there is a reason provided for frequent career breaks or moving jobs, [hiring managers] don\u2019t have a problem with it. A military relocation is one of the best reasons for a career break.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A military relocation is one of the best reasons for a career break.<\/p>\n<cite>Cory Boatwright, Head of Military &amp; Veteran Programs and Partnerships, LinkedIn<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/help\/linkedin\/answer\/a597655\/add-career-breaks-to-your-profile?lang=en-us&amp;intendedLocale=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">select the \u201ccareer break\u201d option<\/a> in the \u201cexperience\u201d section of your LinkedIn profile. Boatwright recommends including a description of the career break. This description explains what you learned or focused on during your career break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Learn New Skills Through LinkedIn Learning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, military spouses have access to LinkedIn Learning through LinkedIn Premium. Linked Learning is an on-demand virtual educational portal to more than 20,000 expert-led courses. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/business\/learning\/blog\/top-skills-and-courses\/most-in-demand-skills\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Users can learn new skills or validate skills<\/a> developed through life experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMilitary spouses face unique career challenges due to frequent relocations, deployments of their service member partner, and the need for flexibility in their schedules. LinkedIn Learning is valuable resource for military spouses looking to further their education and career prospects amidst the unique challenges they face,&#8221; Boatwright said. &#8220;With over 20,000 online courses, and the flexibility to complete and one\u2019s own pace, military spouses can quickly and conveniently learn the skills they need to be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on your professional goals, a 30-minute course may be exactly what you want. You may want to use LinkedIn Learning to brush up on a particular software, like the \u201cPowerPoint Essential Training\u201d course or \u201cGetting Started with Premiere Pro for the Non-Video Pro\u201d webinar on LinkedIn Learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, LinkedIn Learning offers multi-course learning paths. Related courses are bundled together and presented in a particular order. At this time, popular learning paths for military spouses include \u201cFinding and Succeeding in Remote Work\u201d (3 hours) and \u201cGet Ahead as a Military Spouse\u201d (20 hours).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you finish a course,  adding those skills to your LinkedIn profile is easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Self-Identify as a Military Spouse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s hard to connect with military-friendly employers on LinkedIn unless you <a href=\"https:\/\/members.linkedin.com\/equal-access\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">self-identify as a military spouse<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne of the things I love about LinkedIn is that members are core to everything we do, and connecting every member to economic opportunity is our vision. &#8216;Member\u2019s first&#8217; is a one of our values and military spouses are included,&#8221; Boatwright said. &#8220;Because we want to make sure the LinkedIn platform is inclusive and connecting military spouses to opportunities, it is helpful for us to understand which of our members are military spouses. We ask military spouses to self-id within their profile demographic settings as a military spouse so we can glean aggregated insights on how to improve the platform for our military spouse community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To self-identify as a military spouse, go to your LinkedIn settings, and select account preferences. Next, under profile information, choose personal demographic information and edit demographics. Finally, scroll down to the final question. It says, \u201cAre you a spouse or domestic partner to someone who is currently serving in any military?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through LinkedIn and LinkedIn Learning, military spouses connect with resources and tools to get ahead in their careers. Are you using them? It\u2019s time you took advantage of LinkedIn Premium and its features for military spouses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lastly, military spouses are eligible for a free year of LinkedIn Premium. Access is easier than ever. <a href=\"https:\/\/socialimpact.linkedin.com\/programs\/veterans\/milspouses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spouses can verify their eligibility directly
