[quote=Anonymous]when my husband returned from Iraq, he applied for every federal job that he was even remotely qualified for (graduated from a good school with 3 majors, but never had a job because he went right to Iraq after college - enlisted military personnel). He got denied GS7 and 9 jobs because "not enough educational experience" and other such nonsense. He ended up getting his job from insourcing, veterans preference didn't help him when he needed it. I think veterans preference is only useful for certain fields (IT as mentioned) or for the higher grades when it's a retiring O5/O6 rolling over into a GS14/15 position and then double dipping. It's ridiculous.[/quote]
