Our team will greet you as you enter the Nashville VA Medical Center Multipurpose Room. As you enter, you'll be asked to verify your registration information at the check-in desk. Once you check-in, the team will hand you a number and direct you to a waiting area.

One of our hiring officials will call you back based on your number and begin the interview process. If the hiring officials find you meet the required criteria, they may extend a job offer. You'll be directed to another area to begin the onboarding process, which can take up to one hour.

Questions? We've got some answers:

We cannot guarantee that you'll be interviewed the day-of but an HR specialist will be glad to answer any questions.  You can also apply for our openings at usajobs.gov or send your resume to TVHS-Careers@va.gov.
