WASHINGTON — Federal agencies have taken what administration officials are calling "bold, decisive strides" to hire more veterans by adding a "Careers for veterans" section their websites with a link to USAJobs.gov.

“We provide veterans all the opportunities in the world,” Department of State spokesman John Kirby said. “All they have to do is search for our specific keywords and job series numbers, which we plan to provide in FY18 if we get funding."

"If they can't filter through five hundred results that require experience at the G-12 level to find positions they'd be qualified for, that's on them," Kirby added. "We even streamline the process by including dozens of positions paying $9 an hour in Germany.”
