I attended a job fair at Los Angeles Community College that was hosted by the Department of Labor and the VA. As part of push to help veterans and people with disabilities into the job market, the two departments put this event together to help connect those populations with employers that are aware of their strengths and needs.
Though I attended the fair in an official capacity (B3 had a table set-up), I also utilized the resources available. I made my way to the VA hiring table and picked the brain of the representative there. I was provided crucial information about VA hiring practices, USAJOBS.gov navigation and federal resumes. In addition, I was able to meet with several employees of the VA that work in the Vocational Rehabilitation program. As someone who utilizes that program and as a person who wants to work in that department, this was an extremely valuable opportunity to gain some inside knowledge that will hopefully further me along the road to federal employment with VA.
