Ask these questions to ace your VA application

It’s only once every four years that we get an extra day in the year, so why not take advantage of Leap Day and finish your VA application. In fact, we’ve put together a handy guide to help you make sure you have everything in order before you click that “Submit” button.

• Have you read the job announcement?
• Is your resume ready?
• Have you written a cover letter?
• Are your references in order?

Seems simple on the surface, but each one of these items is an important step in the application process, which is why we’re taking the time to walk you through each of them.
