Civilian Jobs Abroad in the Military.?

I am about to receive my Master’s Degree in Library Science and would love to work abroad on a military base in a school or public library. I currently live in the US and I can’t just pick up and move to Japan or Germany without knowing that I’ll get a job. I was wondering how many of those jobs go to spouses of people and people who live on base or near base.

If you wish to work at the school system on base overseas then look at the DoDD website, it has the best information including how to apply for a job with them. There is no guarantees for a spouse to get a job when they are living overseas. They do have a limited number of jobs available. Depending on the country they are in many people working on base are locals. DoDD teachers and administration are not necessarily spouses but are hired beforehand and many have been there for years.

There is no major public library on base and that is usually one job that would be a local job. If you want to work for hte city itself then you have to be hired by them.
