[quote=Anonymous]Take a close look at the jobs you're applying for and how the specialized experiance and questions are written.  If these are very generic and look like any other Program Analyst position out there then you can assume that almost anyone who puts in an application will qualify (because the qualifications are written so generically that the random HR person will qualify them all) and assuming there are a few vets in this large group then you will not even get referred if you are not a vet.

If the write up is more specific to the position and you have those skills then your chances greatly increase.  But you MUST pick the "best" answer to all the questions (in most cases this portion is purely automated) and you MUST make sure your resume demostrates experiance in the areas they list under specialezed experianced.  Use those same words (not verbatim, but enough so a random HR specialist will see the connection).
