Yet, these men and women are open to reinventing themselves professionally, often trading low wages for resume gaps, so that our service members can honor their commitment to this country in the midst of our longest running war.<\/p>\n<p>Many \u2013 but not all \u2013 military spouses toil with the tribulations of unemployment and underemployment. Through determination and grit, a growing number of military spouses are quietly navigating promotions at military-ready employers throughout the country.<\/p>\n<p>Meet four military spouses who have climbed the corporate ladder to senior leadership positions and hear their tips for replicating their success.<\/p>\n<h4>Embrace the Power of Your Military Spouse Network<\/h4>\n<p>Elizabeth O\u2019Brien\u2019s rise to the executive level at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation\u2019s Hiring Our Heroes started with an invitation for coffee.<\/p>\n<p>Many years ago, O\u2019Brien, an Army spouse, was living with her children in a hotel room on Fort Leavenworth. Their assignment to Kansas was short \u2013 only three months. Her family was living out of their suitcases and trying to make the best of their temporary situation.<\/p>\n<p>When an acquaintance invited O\u2019Brien over for coffee, she immediately said yes. Coffee was followed by dinner, dinner followed by play dates. Soon, a friendship between two military spouses blossomed.<\/p>\n<p>Seven years later, O\u2019Brien and her friend were both living in Washington, D.C. O\u2019Brien wanted to work with the Washington Wizards; her friend gave her a tip on a job at Hiring Our Heroes. O\u2019Brien faced a difficult decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had moved seven times in eight years and worked for a decade as a college basketball coach. I felt like I couldn\u2019t continue a long-term career in college sports because I was going backwards and taking salary cuts every time we moved,\u201d O\u2019Brien said.<\/p>\n<p>In order to progress in her career, O\u2019Brien needed to reinvent herself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had an opportunity that could lead to my dream job, but I had to be willing to put myself in a position that was uncomfortable,\u201d she said. \u201cI hadn\u2019t ever considered working at a nonprofit, but she said \u2018I think you would excel.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"response\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/MSES2019\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3339 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Elizabeth-OBrien-and-panel-at-Military-Spouse-Employment-Summit-2018.jpg\" alt=\"Through determination and grit, a growing number of military spouses are quietly navigating promotions at military-ready employers throughout the country.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"650\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Today, O\u2019Brien is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/military-spouse-programs-hit-the-road\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senior Director of Military Spouse Programs at Hiring Our Heroes<\/a>. She oversees a team of employees and volunteers who manage 53 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/military-spouse-professional-network\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Military Spouse Professional Networks<\/a> around the world. They are leading change at the local level through the launch of over a dozen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/mseez\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Military Spouse Economic Employment Zones<\/a>. And they host numerous events and promotions, such as the upcoming <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/MSES2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">third annual Military Spouse Employment Summit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the power of the spouse network,\u201d O\u2019Brien said. \u201cThe growth of the military spouse program (at Hiring Our Heroes) presented me with opportunities to pursue my career goals, connect with military spouses on the private side, and broaden my network.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Be Open to New Opportunities<\/h4>\n<p>One of Amazon\u2019s leadership principles is \u201cLearn and Be Curious.\u201d As an organization, Amazon encourages its leaders to step outside their comfort zones and areas of expertise. This \u201cLearn and Be Curious\u201d principle has positively impacted Kate Viar\u2019s career.<\/p>\n<p>Viar works as the Director of Worldwide Public Sector Engagement for Amazon Web Services\u00a0 \u2013 a term-limited executive development role that allows Viar to shadow and learn from leaders within the worldwide AWS public sector business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has been an incredible opportunity to learn about a whole new part of the business, completely outside of my area of expertise and comfort zone,\u201d Viar said. \u201cAs my boss always says, you need to \u2018find a hole and fill it,\u2019 and by doing that you evolve and grow. I think that is very similar to what military spouses do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This Army spouse feels that she wouldn\u2019t be working at the executive level if she wasn\u2019t willing to embrace a philosophy of constant reinvention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy best advice is to never stop learning and developing your skills, even if you land in a remote location without relevant job opportunities,\u201d Viar said. \u201cDo not view your career trajectory as a rigid line; instead think about the skills you will need to get you into an executive role down the road.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New opportunities aren\u2019t always tied to a relocation. New opportunities can be found at your current employer too.<\/p>\n<p>When Air Force spouse and Navy veteran <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/opening-doors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cathy Breeze<\/a> joined Booz Allen Hamilton in its Capital Region office, her entire team was made up of veterans and military spouses. A year later, her husband received orders to Colorado Springs. Back then, Booz Allen didn\u2019t have a thriving business in Colorado, but senior leadership had a vision to expand its corporate footprint. They asked Breeze to be part of this effort.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I got there, there was only four of us. When I left there was over 500 of us,\u201d Breeze said.<\/p>\n<p>In the 23 years Breeze worked for Booz Allen Hamilton in Colorado Springs, she never had the same job for more than two years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was constantly evolving\u2026missions, roles, and opportunities. That was the exciting aspect of being part of small office &#8212; you got the opportunity to be part of every facet of growth,\u201d Breeze said.<\/p>\n<h4>Success Is a Team Sport<\/h4>\n<p>As a Navy spouse, Jennifer Simpson never dreamed she would work at the executive level.<\/p>\n<p>Simpson was stationed at Sigonella, Sicily, when she interviewed for a contractor position through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/hiring-our-heroes-recognizes-six-companies-and-individuals-for-commitment-to-empowering-nations-veterans-and-military-spouses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wittenberg Weiner Consulting<\/a> (WWC). Since inception, WWC has hired more than 150 military spouses into professional-level positions and 43% of its management team is composed of military spouses.<\/p>\n<p>Eight years after starting as a contractor, Simpson is now the vice president of WWC\u2019s Defense Business Line. In the last three years, she has expanded the firm\u2019s presence in Hampton Roads, Virginia, from four consultants to 15. Military spouses make up 50% of Simpson\u2019s team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201c<\/strong>I really do believe that the driving force for my success is my team,\u201d Simpson said. \u201cThey are the most passionate and committed workforce. They drive me to want to get more opportunities and build our business in Norfolk so that we can give more employment opportunities to military spouses here.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Work for Military-Friendly Employers<\/h4>\n<p>Before <a href=\"https:\/\/ww-consult.com\/working-with-wwc\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wittenberg Weiner Consulting<\/a>, Simpson was on the military spouse career hamster wheel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTypically what would happen is that I would get in at an entry level position every two to three years when we move, prove myself, and show that I was able to do the job and able to move onto the next level. Then we would move and I would start over again,\u201d Simpson said.<\/p>\n<p>Then she interviewed with WWC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve probably been on 100 job interviews and the fact that I\u2019m a military spouse is usually the elephant in the room,\u201d Simpson said. \u201cI knew that they (WWC) were supportive of military spouses, not because I disclosed that I was a military spouse, but because they shared their company culture with me. It was the first time in a job interview that it was positive that I was a military spouse.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"response\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/MSES2019\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3340 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Military-Spouse-Employment-Summit-2018-group-photo.jpg\" alt=\"Through determination and grit, a growing number of military spouses are quietly navigating promotions at military-ready employers throughout the country.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"650\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>When Breeze transitioned out of the Navy, her goal was to work for a company that valued veterans and women. She said she left the Navy after 10 years because of limited opportunities for women to promote in the Navy at that time. She was a cryptographic technician.<\/p>\n<p>Since Breeze had experienced the glass ceiling as a female sailor, she refused to allow it to impact her career as an Air Force spouse.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Breeze is a Vice President at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boozallen.com\/careers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Booz Allen Hamilton<\/a>. She uses her decades of intelligence, defense, and combatant command experience to help the Department of Homeland Security tackle its most complex issues. She also helps to promote the hiring and support of veterans and military spouses at Booz Allen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can honestly say I\u2019ve never felt held back \u2013 I\u2019ve only been encouraged at Booz Allen,\u201d Breeze said. \u201cThey\u2019ve trusted me to take on new roles. They empowered me to bring my whole self. As an organization I think that\u2019s how we are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Simpson, who is a Navy veteran, said WWC is the same way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey gave me the opportunity to progress my career, which is incredible for a small business to be able to do that for someone. They are the most military spouse-friendly company that I\u2019ve ever been around,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Military spouses are persistent, determined, and indefatigable.
