I have permanent reinstatement eligibility, plus all the other vet preferences and it has been a long, arduous, frustrating, stressful trip. I've been referred many times, blah, blah, blah It has not been fun. Try to stick it out.

Individuals usually apply to agencies in response to vacancies announced under the merit promotion program. Some agencies accept applications only when they have an appropriate open merit promotion announcement, while others accept applications at any time.
If you are seeking a higher grade or a position with more promotion potential than you previously held, generally you must apply under a merit promotion announcement and rank among the best-qualified applicants to be selected. Status applicants include individuals who are eligible for reinstatement. This is not the case. If the highest grade that you last held in your federal job was a GS-9 grade you can only be rehired into a GS-9 position or lower grade non-competitively.
You can't be hired non-competitively into a higher graded position. The only way for a reinstatement eligible to be hired into a hired graded position is to bid competitively through an open job announcement.
If you meet the reinstatement eligibility requirements contact agencies in your area to determine if job vacancies exist.
