I try to set a good example--the board works best when people share, whether it's openings, information, correcting inaccurate assumptions. The least I can do given all the help people have given me.

Anyone here from this posting yet, other than referrals?

Anyone here from this posting yet, other than referrals? No word. Interestingly, it didn’t seem like the announcement closed early so they may not have gotten the 75 applications. I would be very interested to know the qualifications of those that get interviews. I know excellent attorneys with 15+ years of federal employment law experience as agency counsel that have not made the interview stage. I kind of wonder if they narrow down the agency counsel pool by focusing applicants that are GS-15s or if they are looking for employee representatives not agency counsel. |

That actually doesn't surprise me, though I don't think the GS-15 is the qualifier. I've been working as agency counsel doing federal personnel law for years as a GS-15, but missed out on the last rounds of postings. Oh well, fingers crossed--again. |

FWIW I have 7 years of federal labor and employment law experience, with over a dozen MSPB hearings under my belt yet I never seem to land an interview. Don't mean any disrespect but a dozen or so hearings (just at MSPB? Is that EEOC, too?) in seven years makes it sound like you, like me, only do employment part-time in your fed role. There's employment attorneys at some agencies where it's all they do and they may have nearly that many hearings (not to mention all the stuff that settles before) in a year. I'd love a job like this one day, too, but knowing employment is not even 1/4 of my workload leaves me not expecting to do as well as the folks who do it fulltime. |

I have been handling employment work for 15 years as agency counsel, my workload has exclusively been employment law the last 4/5 years, and I have a lot of experience providing training internally on employee discipline and performance management. This is my second time applying. The first time I wasn’t yet a GS15 so I thought maybe they preferred current 15s. But I guess there are just a lot of awesome applicants.

It's just MSPB, but probably a similar number of EEOC hearings. I can't imagine the workload at an agency where you're doing more than that over a 7 year period (more than 4 hearings a year? -- ouch, that sounds rough). |

Excepted service hiring is, to put it nicely, unpredictable.
