I've got an interview this Monday at the local VA as a Veterans Servive Representative. As a Veteran, I think it will be pretty great connecting veterans with the benefits they've earned.
Anyone currently employed at the VA or even better, anyone a VSR currently?

I've accepted the Firm Offer and will be starting June 1st as a Veteran's Service Representative here in Roanoke. Big transition from teaching to Federal employment... that's a good thing.
Thanks to those in the RP community who offered their 2 cents along the way, from resume tips to words of encouragement.
Hell, maybe I'll be fortunate enough to build a RP member's case file, and get you closer to the benefits you've earned.
I look forward to increasing the success rates of Veterans submitting claims and offering solid advice on how to efficiently navigate the process through the proper channels within RP.
You've got an inside man now.

Update: interview complete. 5 Performance Based questions, followed by a writing sample. Got a very positive vibe from the HR recruiter.
Starting at GS-7 which is more than I make as a teacher, and with yearly promotions, the ladder is one worth climbing.
Now the waiting game begins, as the VA is not known for speedy decisions.
My goal is to make a positive difference, even at the "lower" levels of the Claims process.

Nice! Good luck!
My wife doesn't work for the VA, BUT she is a CNA that occasionally works at the Idaho State Veterans Home in Boise (its a state run veterans facility).
