The Department of Homeland Security is extremely interested in hiring veterans, and in-depth reasons why are provided here via GovExec.com. An incredibly fulfilling career path may await you there. The article also mentions the massive upcoming retirement of federal workers, a concern for DHS because you, the veteran job seeker, are going to be faced with a huge variety of available federal jobs. Your skills are going to match well with many of them, and the piece shows the DHS' commitment to putting your on their team - be very proud!

Hi SPC Phal,
Thank you for your service and for writing! The DHS has attended several MilitaryStars events in the past, and we have other federal clients from the FBI to the TSA to the Postal Service. On www.militarystars.com, in the top right corner of the home page there's a link to the IRS careers site, and the bottom right corner of the home page has a link to the DIA's. The best way to get started is to visit these sites and familiarize yourself with federal government employment procedures and requirements. Copy this link directly into your browser - it's the VA's Tips For Tackling the Federal Application Process: http://www.va.gov/JOBS/hiring/tips.asp
Best of luck, stay safe, and please let me know if you need anything else! Thank you for reading.
