On Thursday, 7/16 @VACareers partnered with VHA recruiters and the national healthcare recruitment & marketing office during a Twitter Chat to address questions and comments from candidates. Multiple health care professionals joined and tweeted questions about vacancies, the application process and benefits using the #workatVA.

You may also forward your resumes to VACareers@va.gov.
