tabEmployment Opportunities 
Veterans Affairs is seeking qualified veterans to fill more than 500 telehealth clinical technician positions nationwide. Telehealth work involves providing care in an environment where the patient and care provider are not in the same location. Veteran status earns people the opportunity to apply for VA for Vets positions through excepted appointments.

Employer Partnership of the Armed Forces is sponsored by the Department of Defense, and links employers with America's veterans. For employers to be able to access information, people must register, fill out the profile and post their resumes. There are also regional program support managers affiliated with the program who can provide additional assistance if needed.

tabHouse of Representatives Fellowship Program 
The House Representatives Fellowship Program was established to create fellowships that will provide employment opportunities for wounded or disabled veterans within the House of Representatives in Washington, D.C., and in district offices nationwide. Those selected for the program will be employed by the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer but will be given the opportunity to work in member, committee and leadership offices and possibly transition into full-time employment. Full-time employment is not guaranteed at the conclusion of the two-year "fellowship."

Applicants must have served on active duty since Sept. 11, 2001, and must have a 30 percent or greater service-connected disability rating and less than 20 years of service. If a fellowship is located within a member's district, the appointment is contingent on the Representative's continuous representation of that district. In addition to a current résumé, applicants must submit a copy of their DD Form 214 and a letter from Veterans confirming they have at least a 30 percent service-connected disability rating.
Interested veterans may go to www.cao.house.gov to learn more about the program and may submit their résumés, their DD Forms 214 and letters from the VA to housewoundedwarriors@mail.house.gov. Applicants must identify the specific job they are applying for in any correspondence to expedite their applications.
