Empowering the Homefront is a pilot program designed by Powerhouse Planning to empower and provide career support to military spouses. Through the program, military spouses will be selected through an application process to receive career kick-start prizes, including free resume makeovers and other career tools and support, which will be announced throughout 2023.

As a Coast Guard spouse, Jessica Bertsch knows firsthand the sacrifices and unique challenges military spouses face, which led to her creation of Powerhouse Planning, a company devoted to providing clients with remote team solutions through employment of skills and talents of military spouses and other remotely located individuals.

We have lived and seen the amazing skills military spouses possess that are often underutilized as they support their spouses’ military careers, which require them to be flexible and adaptive. 

This year, as a core part of the Powerhouse team culture and our mission to Share the Goodness, Powerhouse wants to help lift up other military spouses with career support.

For our first giveaway of the year, Powerhouse will provide FREE resume creation or makeovers for five military spouses including content creation, editing, and design. These services traditionally cost $200-$350, and we are making this opportunity available to five military spouses, completely free of charge.

Any military spouse of an active-duty service member from any United States military branch of service is welcome to apply. Whether you currently have a resume that needs sprucing up or you are starting from scratch, you are encouraged to submit an application. This opportunity is excellent for anyone navigating an upcoming PCS move, a career change, or a return to work from a career gap.

The link to apply to be considered for a resume makeover will be available March 1 through March 15, 2023.

Additional deadlines will be posted as new giveaways are announced in May.

Please click the “Apply Now” link at the bottom of this page to access the Google Form.

Be sure to follow us on Facebook and LinkedIn throughout the year for more information and exciting updates about career support giveaways during 2023.
