I am a series 1105 purchasing agent with several AA degrees and a BS degree, DAWIA level 1 certification, and 4 years of experience. Yet when I apply for 1102 jobs with the government I am informed that I am not qualified. I suppose when they see I am a veteran they deep six my application. They need to stop whining about the shortage of qualified applicants; they are available in droves already.

Remember who controls Congress -- Bush's own party. He has waged war on the federal civilian employee since he got into office. The GOP controlled Congress has been nothing but a rubber stamp for this CEO-mind set that you can run government like a business, with all the requisite perks going to those at the top. Don't expect Congress to help us. With great legislation like NSPS, they've already shown how much they care.

Agencies will love this directive, since it will allow them to bypass veterans' preference laws. This is what Springer has been after ever since she became director of OPM. It won't be long until another directive will come out for other positions that will allow agencies to ignore vets laws. She and Bush are doing all they can to eradicate the preference laws before the Iraq war ends. The same dirty tricks were used after the Vietnam War. Where are our vets organizations on this, and why aren't our congressmen speaking out?
