According to Military Times, a significant portion of businesses that work with the federal government are looking to match veterans with open positions.
Where jobs are listed
Because these jobs are associated with the federal government, they must be listed with the Labor Department's One-Stop Career Center, a job-finding site where veteran employment is the top priority. The site offers a variety of resources to soldiers in their life after service, including transition resources and advice on how to get more education. The Career Center also lets you match the skills you learned in the military with civilian careers.
Benefits of working with a federal contractor
As a veteran, you can benefit greatly from working with a federally contracted institution. Because these companies do business with the government, they are required to adhere to rules and policies that give preference to veterans. The source noted that not only do these organizations have to employ veterans, but they typically need to have as many vets as they do civilians. They also must pay veterans the same amount as other employees, regardless of their military pensions. These employers must also accommodate veteran disabilities within reason, noted the source.
