ANSWERS 100% CORRECT
A candidate applied for the position under VEOA and was found qualified and placed
on the certificate of eligibles. Two weeks later, the HR Specialist informed the hiring
manager that after making the tentative offer and collecting additional paperwork,
they found that the applicant had discharge papers for several periods of military
service. The discharge for the initial term of service indicated the veteran had an
honorable discharge. However, he reentered the military and that next discharge
was dishonorable. Based on this scenario, would the hiring manager be required to

people. This hiring authority allows me to select highly qualified candidates because
it gives eligible veterans access to jobs that otherwise only would have been
available to status candidates. In these appointments, veterans compete for job
opportunities that are open to status candidates from outside the agency's own
workforce. In other words, I can hire great people who don't have to go through the
traditional competitive examining process. - ANSWERVEOA
