Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is 2A Careers?
2A Careers is a job board and career guide for veterans, law enforcement, security professionals, the firearms industry, the skilled trades and remote workers. We post current opportunities and explain how to land them.
Is 2A Careers the employer?
No. 2A Careers lists opportunities and you apply directly with the employer or program. Always confirm the details with the employer before you apply.
Does it cost anything to apply?
No. Applying through 2A Careers is free, and you should never pay a fee to apply for a job — that is a common sign of a job scam.
What are partner and affiliate opportunities?
They are referral, affiliate or independent-contractor opportunities with businesses in our network, not salaried jobs. Each one is clearly labelled, we may earn a referral fee from them, and we make no income claims — any earnings depend entirely on your own work.
How do veterans' preference and SkillBridge work?
Veterans' preference gives eligible veterans an advantage in federal hiring, and SkillBridge lets eligible service members train with civilian employers during their last months of service. Eligibility rules apply, so confirm with USAJOBS, the VA or your command.
Can employers post jobs?
Employers can create a free company listing today. To have a specific opening posted on the job board, use the contact form and tell us about the role.
Can you help with my résumé?
Yes — our résumé and interview guides cover military-to-civilian résumés, federal résumés and law enforcement applications, and you can ask us for career help through the contact form.
