Unless you’re a veteran, you’re screwed.

Yup. And when they hired a veteran for a position I applied for (I scored 100/100 and didn’t get an interview) the veteran didn’t even last through the six month probationary period. I had also done the job I was applying for as a contractor for the Commonwealth for 13 years. It’s absurd.

Truth. It's frustrating to have a great candidate(s) that get blocked. Nothing against veterans or active military because my agency has had excellent staff that were/are in the military...but we have also had candidates that check almost all our "they can do this difficult job" boxes that get blocked.

Thanks for posting this. It’s been very frustrating scoring 100s as well and not even getting an interview. I’ve been doing the same position for years in the contractor sector and all I’m trying to do is get a stable job with benefits.
