Update....
I had an interview for a position as a teller at a local credit union. The initial interview went well and I was called for a second interview. It went very well until it came to the part of them asking if I lived close to the branch area (it is in an industrial, out of way area) and I stated that I lived on base. This may have been a mistake, because the follow up question was, how long can you commit to us? I answered honestly and stated that I would love to commit as long as physically possible but that as a military spouse we are unaware of how long we will be in a certain location. I refuse to lie about this part of my life, but I have yet to find a way to answer this question that will not hinder me. So of course, the following Monday, yesterday I received an email stating that they decided to go another way. In all honesty I can't think of any other reason that I did not get the position. Although part of me wants to deny that people will not hire military spouses just because we will have to leave.
Again, I will not let this keep me down. On to another day and hopefully another interview and even better yet a job offer!!!!!
