For veterans and spouses, the message that the job hunt should be easy is so loud that when you run into difficulties, you think there is something wrong with you. You chalk it up to a lack of time, a weakness in your character or an insincerity in the market. Instead, there are many inescapable realities in the transition job hunt and in the spouse job hunt. Face them, and you find that there are ways to escape and land the civilian job far faster than your peers.
