The Career Resource Program located at Naval Base Kitsap Bangor
provides assistance to family members, active duty and retired members. Local
job announcements, information on opportunities for education, training, and
upcoming job fairs is posted in the reception area. The Fleet & Family
Information Center provides free access to computerized job banks that provide a
listing of open positions throughout the United States. Assistance in learning
resume preparation, or preparing for interviews is offered through monthly
classes and in individual appointments for active duty and retiring military
members.
The federal agencies in the region have been downsizing in
recent years. This reduces the possibility of quick federal employment. Agencies
are hiring but openings are highly competitive. The Military Spouse Preference
Program is available to those who transfer here with an active duty sponsor.
There are also other preference/stopper lists affecting federal employment
(those created by base closures/RIF's).
