        35C.1  APPOINTMENTS AND EMPLOYMENT -- APPLICATIONS.
         1.  In every public department and upon all public works in the
      state, and of the counties, cities, and school corporations of the
      state, veterans who are citizens and residents of the United States
      are entitled to preference in appointment and employment over other
      applicants of no greater qualifications.  The preference in
      appointment and employment for employees of cities under a municipal
      civil service is the same as provided in section 400.10.  For
      purposes of this section, "veteran" means as defined in section
      35.1 except that the requirement that the person be a resident of
      this state shall not apply.
         2. a.  In all jobs of the state and its political
      subdivisions, an application form shall be completed.  The
      application form shall contain an inquiry into the applicant's
      military service during the wars or armed conflicts as specified in
      subsection 1.
         b.  The department of administrative services shall inform the
      agency to which the person is seeking employment of the person's
      military service as specified in subsection 1.
         3.  In all jobs of political subdivisions of the state which are
      to be filled by competitive examination or by appointment, public
      notice of the application deadline to fill a job shall be posted at
      least ten days before the deadline in the same manner as notices of
      meetings are posted under section 21.4.
         4.  For jobs in political subdivisions of the state that are
      filled through a point-rated qualifying examination, the preference
      afforded to veterans shall be equivalent to that provided for
      municipal civil service systems in section 400.10.
