“GET NOTICED WHEN APPLYING FOR A GOVERNMENT JOB”
Originating from the Veterans’ Preference Act of 1944, veterans who qualify may receive special “attention” when applying for an open federal government position. You will still need to meet the qualifications and experience needed to land the job desired, and preference will not ensure your employment. However, depending upon your level and degree of preference, it will definitely put your application at the front of the pile.
Look for more detailed information to be coming in the near future! In the meantime, USA Jobs provides an automated phone system to inform you about the latest job vacancies and special programs for veterans by calling 703-724-1850.
