When you start your job search, you’re going to have a lot of questions—about the job, about what you’re looking for, and even about what steps you should take.
A traditional practice for reporters is to make sure they have answered the “W”s—who, what, when, where, and why— for every story, to make sure they had all the relevant information a reader could want. You can use those same questions to help you find the job that’s right for you at VA.
- Who are you as a candidate?
- What kind of job are you looking for?
- When do you want to start?
- Where do you want to work?
- Why do you want a new job?
By taking a few minutes to answer these basic questions, you’ll be better prepared to conduct your job search and put yourself in a much better position to start the VA application process. You’ll know what you want and be able to tell us what you have to offer.
