When it comes to starting a new career in the Federal Government, how does Veterans Preference work?

To add the poor hiring practices little diversity and few Veteran's, are from the Obama administration. Hire civilian dummies who need a job Blacks preferred

I applied for a Fed position that I was already doing as a contractor and provided all the detailed documentation to support my qualifications including DD-214, Navy Training Records, Training Certificates from previous employers, etc. because I retired as an O-4, and I don’t have a VA disability rating, I don’t get points for Veterans Preference. After three turn downs, I decided to remain in my contract position.

If they in open late me know

Bet all this has age restrictions? Not much help for Vietnam War veterans?

Application, Resume, and a whole lotta luck. The Vet Preference Program for me over the last thirty years has been nothing but a farce. You can claim Vet Preference, but you need the experience. I had a case years ago where I was qualified and the other guy had some sort of specialized degree and was not a veteran - EXTREMELY hard to prove that you are not getting preference. Be very detailed and tell everything. A CV won't do - you need a full-blown resume.

Veterans Preference work would be a nice change and considering a dream come true in this life time.
