Tips for Job Searching in Sasebo
The first tip is patience. The job market is very tight in Sasebo because it is such a small community. There are plenty of hourly positions available through MWR at their locations around base such as the gym, restaurants, bowling alley, and childcare centers. The NEX and DECA (Commissary) typically have positions available as well.  Professional positions are hard to come by -- especially at the post-baccalaureate level. Consider volunteer positions to gain valuable resume experience and prevent gaps in your resume. Networking is key to the success of your job search.

The Transition Assistance Program (TAP) is an outcome-based statutory program (10 USC, Ch. 58) that bolsters opportunities, services, and training for transitioning Service members in their preparation to meet post-military goals.

The mandatory components of TAP are applicable for all Service members who have at least 180 continuous days or more on active duty, including the National Guard and Reserve.

In person TAP is a five-day workshop for service members and their families. Topics include resume-writing, job-search strategies, veterans’ benefits information, the Survivor Benefit Plan, internet outplacement services, Department of Labor training and lifestyle changes. 

For more information on TAP, please contact your Command Career Counselor or FFSC FFSCSasebo@us.navy.mil .
