The Veterans Guide contains more details. In addition, all Executive Branch Federal agencies are required to accept applications from 10-point preference eligibles even if there are currently no open vacancies. If you exercise this option, under NASA policy, you will be automatically referred for the first position for which you qualify, if such a position is available within 90 days of your application. If you wish to receive further consideration as a 10-point preference eligible, you will need to resubmit your application. |
