Employment
Options
There are continuing
vacancies available on Andersen AFB, mostly
federal or federal contract positions at
temporary, part-time, and full-time. While there
are opportunities outside the base, unless
special qualifications are required by the

the wages are at minimum level. Good job
prospects include hotel and restaurant service,
accounting and administrative positions. Fair
job prospects include teaching and nursing. Poor
job prospects include Federal service, GovGuam

positions are often placed at lower-level
vacancies.

for placement in this
program.
