Ok, this has somewhat been answered by others here. You can go to www.usajobs.opm.gov. When you get there you will select your location parameters or enter a job title and you will get a list of jobs in your area. Most of the lower-level jobs seem to be entry-level with a qualification for minimal experience or will substitute college coursework.
Military veterans receive 5 points preference, you need to supply a DD-214 as part of your supporting documentation. Is the Department of Veteran Affairs able to provide assistance in this area?

You need to seek out your local VA office. They have employment counselors who may be able to help you.
In Texas, we have the Texas Workforce Commission. Your state probably has something similar. They have counselors specificially to help veterans.
www.usajobs.gov is the federal website for jobs. You can upload your resume to make it easier to apply for jobs, but you will need to follow the posting requirements very specifically for the job. There are question/answer pages you will need to do.
There is a big push in the fed section to hire veterans. So you actually have an advantage over everyone else. Good luck...

have you tried looking for government jobs? this can be for the city, county, state, or federal. those places give preference to veterans which gives you a better shot. private companies are not required to give veterans preference, so there could be a number of reasons why you can't get a job with a private company. you should definitely look into getting a government job. you certainly earned your right to claim veteran's preference.

There are plenty of places to get help as a veteren. One site that will get you around to some help is usajobs.com, and then go to the Veterans area. Also miitaryonesource.com has good resources. I agree with the other guy who said you need to make sure your resume is up to snuff. There is help, you just have to be willing to take it.

maybe the jobs you are looking into have been
taken by illegals.
That's what everybody complains about..
I'm sorry but our ex-service people should be better taken
care of by our government.
They use you and then turn there backs on you...
Dear old uncle Sam....
I wish you the best of LUCK...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
