VA fills jobs two ways, with competition and without competition.
- Jobs that are filled competitively are advertised through the USAJOBS website. See additional information below.
- Noncompetitive jobs are not advertised; VA searches the VA for Vets Career Center resume database to identify qualified Veterans eligible for appointment without competition.
