You may have to be willing to re-locate on short notice. You need to contact your local Veterans Representative. Most counties have one. If not contact the DAV, American Legion, or any other Veterans service organization. There are jobs out there that YOU will be given. No competition, if the job is open, you are willing, they will appoint you and bypass the normal application process. You have to do the research and be persistent and in their face, so to speak. Don't give up, you WILL get there.
