To answer aljfaq's question, there are three factors to getting hired directly to a non-SSA position: 1) High score 2) High Score 3) Very High Score Well I think I can pull off 2 out of 3 of these What are the chances that a non-vet can score high enough to outscore all vets with their bonus points added in? Is that a virtual impossibility given the historical tight grouping of scores? Seems like your best bet would be to have them pull the Cert for another agency after at least one big SSA cert. That might clear out your high scoring vets. Thus leaving your path to victory.

I sometimes think an ALJ poster's activity on this forum is inversely proportional to his/her job satisfaction. ;-)

I rather think the 'hook got hired because he was a good "fit" for that Agency. IMHO, the most important decision a CALJ makes is hiring. It is mostly (if not totally) done in consultation. Very few folks know how they interview. I surely didn't.

The best chance of landing an ALJ position outside of SSA is probably to already be working for the agency where you want to be an ALJ or having appeared before the agency enough that people in positions of influence in the agency know your name and therefore have a reason to look for you on the register. I imagine that these agencies can request a cert that includes high-scoring individuals with some pre-existing agency knowledge/experience.

Actually, I'm not at all sure they can do that, unless there's some provision in the CFR that allows it, it's by score only.

Agencies can not request somebody specific or somebody with specific experience. The agency gets the top 3 scores for the geographic location.
