Re: Moving to Ft McCoy area from another state
Welcome to Wisconsin, whenever you get here.
I don't live in the areas you mention, but maybe someone who does will be able to give you firsthand information that will put you on the right track to get a good job.
Barring that, I'd say Google the cities you're interested in. They should list the closest hospitals and other health care places (clinics, urgent care centers, doctors' offices, etc. Then Google the websites for facilities themselves and look at their job listings.
If you know what kind of unit you'd like to work on, call HR and ask for the name of the unit manager. Then write old-fashioned snail-mail letters to some of these folks telling them a little about yourself and asking what you can do to make yourself an attractive prospective employee.
Be sure to thank anyone who responds. Making contact like this might help you size up what's out there, and it could help to break the ice when you actually apply. "I wrote to you last fall and you were kind enough to tell me about your unit."
As for working on base, surely you could go through some kind of military channels to scope that out. If not, then Google Ft. McCoy, as well.
I wish you the best.
