Given discussion on EEOC AJ thread, thought some people might be interested in the MSPB AJ spot that was just advertised today on USAJOBS. It is posted at the GS-13/14/15 levels, dependent on experience. Short turn-around (which kind of supports the speculation that insiders are picked), but it can't hurt to apply if you are looking in Chicago.

I would not read too much into a short period to apply for a job in a large market as far as insider/outsider. Some of this is the need to keep the number of applications manageable. OPM does that with ALJ applications as we all know. And there are the reports of offices receiving hundreds of applications for attorney slots in ODAR in some of the larger areas such as Houston.

I am neck-deep in MSPB litigation right now. ARRGGGHHH! That's why you haven't heard from me much. I would MUCH rather be the MSPB AJ than the Agency Rep right now... back to work folks, but keep me posted, I've got to come up for air every once and awhile  |

Ok, question. I applied when this was posted last fall. I was not selected, obviously. I think I was referred. Do I apply again or figure they would have hired me last time if they wanted me? Please opine. Thank you.

bikingnut, I say go ahead and apply again. What do you have to lose?

bikingnut, I say go ahead and apply again. What do you have to lose? Just a little more sanity. As if. |

bikingnut, you never know if you were close, but the one they chose just edged you out by a little bit. I say apply again, since you don't know what the pool of candidates is, and you could be the one that edges the others out.

Thanks, everyone. I'll take all those responses as a definite "yes." Thanks for all the encouragement! :-)
