Tomorrow is Veterans Day and we’re all thinking about the significant sacrifice that our soldiers make every day. Federal Diary columnist Joe Davidson at the Washington Post suggests that one of the best ways we can truly honor them is to put them at the top of the pile for jobs:
Davidson explains:
Tuesday was a good day for veterans at the Office of Personnel Management.With military personnel on hand to witness a ceremonial ribbon-cutting, OPM opened a Veterans Employment Program Office. It is designed to facilitate hiring vets not only at OPM but throughout the government.John Berry, the OPM director who so enthusiastically works for veterans even while the law says no to openly gay people like him, began the program with a simple chant: “Hire more vets!”
Now I know that there are Veterans hiring preferences and there should be! So here’s my question for you:
Is your organization recruiting Veterans for jobs?
