The VA is hiring nationwide
- Thread starter Notorious P.I.M.P.
- Start date
Benefits to all you military veterans, you're active duty time count toward your retirement so you start the job with four years and one day
There are many jobs available that are 100% telework also
Employees new to the government earn 4 hours of annual leave per 80 hours worked. If you are a full time employee, that equates to 13 days of paid personal leave per year. After 3 years to federal service employees earn 6 hours per pay period or 19.5 days per year. After 15 years of full time federal service employees earn 8 hours of paid personal leave per pay period which is equal to 26 days off per year.
With all the federal holidays and 8 hours of paid days off for pay period It's worth it

Do y'all know how to put together a Federal resume? The format is akin to telling the story of how you acquired the skills needed to fill the position that you're applying for.
Of course, throw in all of the keywords and phrases that are used in the job description so your resume gets picked up by HRs search.

Dont do this Bro.
from a job opening I appied for
Your SSA-45 must specifically demonstrate, in your own words, the possession of the required experience related to the minimum qualifications, selective placement factors and/or evaluation criteria. Information that is copied or restated language from the vacancy announcement and/or position description will not be considered. If this occurs, you may lose consideration for one or more grade levels or found ineligible.
Thanks for the info. When I DID work for the VA, I submitted a conventional resume and never heard back from them. When the vacancy came around again, I resubmitted another one...I got an email that said that I wasn't qualified.
Later on while at an appointment at the hospital, I dropped by HR and asked about it. They then told me how to structure my 45 and things that I needed to highlight...tips and what have you.
This WAS a Sister too so perhaps she was just on the lookout for my resume. This was in Facilities Maintenance though...carpentry, not anything medical. I did really light jobs like replacing paper towel/toilet paper dispensers, touch up painting, etc. that Housekeeping had been doing outside of their craft.
Thinking back, this was when Obama put an emphasis on getting disabled Vets into jobs at the VA or other Federal employment also. That may have been a factor as well.
