Help with a postal job!?

Question

I am currently a postmaster relief at a small post office. I have been interviewed for a ptf position and there are three veterans ahead of me. Could I be hired over the veterans if I am already a postal employee and they are not or does the veterans rule apply and they all have to be hired before me before I can be considered for a ptf job? Please help, noone knows or will tell me this answer. I have been a PMR for over a year.

Answer 1

If it is determined that you are better than the veterans, you will be chosen by those who interviewed you.

Answer 2

i bet because your a women you'll get the job before any man vet.
