In the federal government, veteran job applicants get a five point preference in the scoring. Ten points if they saw combat. I believe they earned this preference, unlike some of the other preferential treatment doled out by the federal government.

I heard personnelists discussing how they could 'get around' the veteran so they could hire the AA candidate they wanted. I thought this was outrageous and told them so.

I found that once prospective employees could list the reasons the employer should hire them, and that made money for the company, they got hired. Most people only consider what THEY want, NOT what the employer WANTS/NEEDS.

Anyone, including Vets, need to be able to look at the job listings in public industries, and compare what they did in the service to the employer need, and then it was a piece of cake.....Win Win for everyone!
