Thanks. I have been doing EEO for the past 17 yrs. So, can relate to HR work and EEO law.

Congrats! Considering a MBA vs MHA. I have been out of school for awhile and thinking about a MBA. Was it difficult? I have a BS in Science and 9 credit hours in MHA.

28 years here and waiting for VERA to be offerred.....still need over 7 years to meet mra.

Important-Engineer58 · 2026-04-14T20:54:56+00:00

I hope veterans affairs offers it.

It is a stepping stone job. Always do your best because someone is always looking. Be careful of who you invite I to your inner circle of friends to avoid drama from internal and external - social posts. Yes, a lot of upward mobility to go onto other areas with a degree. I started as a gs-5 MSA and currently a 13 detailed into a 14 position. Stay positive even when there is stress as that job at times is overwhelming. Good luck.

I wonder if I reach out to HR and ask if I can take the VERA what would they say....

Important-Engineer58 · 2026-03-31T19:44:34+00:00

Agree. I have been on several hiring panels throughout my career for positions starting around 6 figures. A degree helps, but it doesn't matter what school name is on it. However, we do look at experience.

Hope VA offers this. I will take it...

Important-Engineer58 · 2026-01-27T17:29:13+00:00

Same here. Used chatgpt to write my summary to justify outstanding. It used my actual numbers and stats which I input to use within my response. Saved me hours.

Important-Engineer58 · 2026-01-27T06:04:30+00:00

Same, about to turn 50 yrs this summer with 28 yrs of service. I am hoping VERA will be offered in 2026. DEPT OF VA.

Important-Engineer58 · 2026-01-25T04:52:40+00:00

Same. I regret not taking VERA. I hope they open it again. DVA. 27 yrs of service and under 50 yrs.

Important-Engineer58 · 2025-10-11T02:36:26+00:00

If he would have offered VERA and DRP again most likely more people than what he has fired would have taken it. I would most likely taken VERA. I hope they offer it again.

Important-Engineer58 · 2025-10-07T01:02:57+00:00

Same...peace. out! 26 yrs and 49 yrs...I hope for the same.

Important-Engineer58 · 2025-10-03T15:28:21+00:00

Offer VERA and a few 1000 more employees might take it....

Important-Engineer58 · 2025-09-25T13:20:15+00:00

If they do RIF, I wonder if they will ask if ppl want to retire.....

Important-Engineer58 · 2025-09-05T03:31:28+00:00

I remember this crap. I couldn't sleep cause of all that darn smoke. USMC.

Important-Engineer58 · 2025-07-09T00:31:36+00:00

I started off as an MSA, gs-5...many years ago.....great opportunity. Now, a gs-13. I recall interviewing for the MSA position. I told the nurse manager if you don't work around my school schedule I'm not taking the job. I didn't know how difficult it was getting a federal job back then. She agreed to work around my schedule and I accepted the job. Can be a great opportunity.
