I’m a social worker at the masters level looking to relocate and transition to the VA. I am currently residing in the Washington, DC area. Any suggestions on the selection process for social workers? What I should do to stand out from other applicants? Thus far all positions that I have seen require a clinical social work license. I’m feeling discouraged.

Paula Chandler-Paramore,
You posted your credentials, that you’re a Retired GS-11 Computer Specialist and that you’d like to re-enter Federal Service. I’m certain, with your credentials, you’ll be a much needed addition to the VHA’s Mental-Health Services!
I say, “Please go for it as they’re VERY understaffed!” I hope you’re Blessed with a life-long, fulfilling career providing our Nation’s Veterans with our mental healthcare needs…
Respectfully,
I’m a VRA vet & would like to re-enter federal services. I retired as a computer specialist GS11. I am now a therapist with a masters in movement therapy. I am also a 2nd year doctoral student studying clinical psychology. My specialty is psychological trauma, spirituality, & substance abuse.
I have 3+ years experience with the substance abuse population, dual diagnosis, geractrics, & mental disorders.
I look forward to your reply.
