Marine Corps Times reports that “companies that do business with the federal government employ a big chunk of the U.S. workforce — and if you’re a veteran looking to join their ranks, federal law requires that they give you a leg up.”  

“How can you take advantage?”  

“The local One-Stop Career Center should be one of your first stops, according to government and private-sector officials.”  

“Thousands of these Labor Department offices, also called American Job Centers, are scattered across the country, offering information and job openings posted online at www.careeronestop.org .”
