What does this preference mean to me?
Individuals with 10-point preference are entitled to special consideration
in the hiring process when they apply to open vacancy announcements.
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.
