Just Applied for Federal Job -- Using Vets 30% Disability Preference

Question

Folks:
For the first time, I just applied for a federal job using the 30% or higher disability vets preference. I've heard that it's supposed to be a big help? However, I'm already very qualified for the job based upon my skill-sets but we'll see if it actually makes a "real" difference or not for me? Also, my experience has been that in a lot of cases, there's already somebody that has been unofficially positioned for the job anyway? To be fair, I conceed it's not that way in all cases for sure, but enough to give one concern when applying for a federal position. Frankly, unless you are a Vet already and have some kind of preference, most everyday citizens don't even get a chance to get their foot in the door within the government during the hiring process.
Does anyone have experience with using this veterans job hiring preference that they would like to share their higher experience both positive and negative?

I think it was a good decision to claim the 10 points (disabled vet at 30% or greater). Essentially it places you higher in the line of selection and you are correct most people can't even qualify fo

I used to do the HIRING for a federal agency and we were mandated to hire FIRST: Disabled vets who made 70 to 100 on their tests....then, we hired regular vets who made the same grade...then, we hire
