General guidance, not legal or HR advice.
This guide is general career and job-search education. It is not legal, tax, immigration, HR, benefits, or veteran-benefits advice, and it does not create a professional relationship. Employer policies, federal hiring rules, and benefits programs change frequently — verify anything time- or eligibility-sensitive with the relevant agency, licensed attorney, accredited VSO, or your employer's HR department before you act.
