Thanks for sharing!!! Does anyone know if you can come on board at a higher GS rating (or receive steps) if you've worked in the government in the past, held that higher rating for a year or more, then left for private practice? I've heard that people sometimes are given extra steps when they move from one federal job to another, but wasn't sure if they afford any consideration at all to former GS ratings. |

I believe they are required to do so for any government position. My background was JS for prior federal employment, and they (SSA) indicated they couldn't pay me less than my prior basic pay in my SSA gig. |

I was told by my RO when hired that I was "entitled" to a match of my prior grade, but that the Agency could decline it. They hired me at a higher grade than the minimum, but there was no match. I was hired at a lower grade than I had left. Their definition of "entitled" is different from mine! |

Best job I've ever had). |

Guess there's no harm in applying and worrying about it if I actually get an offer. |

So why do these positions state that they are temporary - some limited to 1 year and others to 4?

So that they can fire the writer with little to no process or just let their term expire without doing anything if they don't work out. Well, that's the cynical view and probably the correct one. Theoretically, it is meant to permit hiring to handle a surge in work over a short period of time without creating a permanent position. |

Well, darn it. Bayou saw his shadow, and we're in for 6 more weeks of winter!

So that they can fire the writer with little to no process or just let their term expire without doing anything if they don't work out. They're on a one year probation anyway. Slightly confused because it takes a fair bit of time to get a new writer up to speed and producing (I'm not sure if judges or writers take longer, I think it depends on the individual, but generally around a year). Firing them in cycles like at-will employees will just artificially boost the number of employees while absolutely tanking the decision production rates. I know writers in our office that can do two to four cases per day and some that would take two days with just one of the same cases. That's worth the money and length of time invested in keeping them there. On the other hand, I don't know much about the NHC DWs. Maybe someone else has some insight on that. |

If anyone is interested in a specific office, get in touch with that office and see if that office is hiring. Some local offices are hiring

Why can I only find the one position open to the public in a search on usajobs? The other two I can only get to using the links provided here. Is there special way to see the internal positions once you're on the inside? I started back in September.

Is there special way to see the internal positions once you're on the inside? I started back in September. Some atty jobs are not posted on USAJobs. Others are posted but can be seen only by those with the link. And others are posted publicly where anyone can search for/see them. As far as I know, there is no way to search for/see those posted on USAJobs that don’t appear in public searches — the only way to access those job postings that I know about is by going directly to the link. Thanks! Good to know. I'm even more appreciative of the job posting links on this board now. |

Thanks! Good to know. I'm even more appreciative of the job posting links on this board now. hi, like i suggested above, if there is a particular location you would like to work in, get in touch with the local oho office there and see if they are hiring. Getting through our phone lines is not fun but call in and when you can, push option to speak to receptionist or operator. See if they know who if that office is hiring any attorneys and/or see if you can speak to a manager and ask them. Manager would be best to speak to or at least leave a message as they would be more up on what you need to submit to apply. Another option is just send in your resume and proof of bar membership to local offices, let them know you are interested in an AA job and if you need to send in anything else to complete your application(such as a writing sample), could someone please get in touch with you and let you know? There are definitely some options to apply to local offices at the moment. I don't know how many of our local offices are hiring or what is or is not being posted on usajobs. Best of luck with it. |
