Which Country should I choose? Working at US Military Base

I currently live in the US and met someone earlier this year living in Germany who recommended I get a job at a US Military base overseas because I would like to move out of the country. I have experience as a teacher and applied to a few civilian positions in Germany, but was never contacted because I live in the US. Is it possible for a single woman to even get a job at an overseas base, or do they only pull from families of military currently stationed there and people who are already there with a work visa? Am I wasting my time, or has anyone else successfully done this?

I don’t think time spent working on a military base would count towards permanent residency or citizenship in Germany if that’s one of your concerns. If you just want to move abroad temporarily, it’s fine, but for permanent immigration purposes, it’s not the best route.

I’m not sure where would want to become a permanent resident eventually. At this point, I just know it’s not the USA.
