“The American Legion strongly supports this kind of proactive approach by DHS to recruit and hire veterans,” American Legion Veterans Employment and Education Division Director Joe Sharpe said. “The federal government offers multiple jobs and career tracks that fit perfectly with the credentials and skill sets of veterans, along with directives to make those employment opportunities readily available to disabled veterans.”
Applicants should bring current resumes, SF-50 forms if already federally employed, Form DD-214, VA compensation letter (if applicable) and college transcripts for those seeking jobs in information technology.
