Here are a couple of cool openings. In my alert it showed up twice in the same email and I though it was just one position but there are two different jobs. One says excepted service and the other doesn't. Not sure what's up with that. Deputy Chief Administrative Law Judge - DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY - Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/534753800$176,900 to $176,900 per year. In DC. Candidates must currently hold an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) position, at the AL-3 level for at least one year. www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/534754800 |

This is an ethics 11 or 12, for those in that range given the number of ethics jobs we see it might be worth looking at. May be limited applicability to ALJ, but plenty of 14/15 jobs requiring an ethics background, so for what it's worth: www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/534753000 |

Correct. They are Article I. But the term is 14 years which is awesome. |

My apologies, not only is it for 14, I haven't heard about anyone being cut, and it doesn't require the very substantial depth of powerhouse supporters required for U.S. District Court. And it's in Orlando--if the 7 Dwarfs have to wrap it up, you're there for them...... 3 sisters fashions --ditto. |

These are good openings for folks looking to break into the federal sector and/or looking to move into the DC area. Downside: The pay is on the low end for DC federal attorneys (heck, there are paralegal positions that go as high as GS-13 at some agencies.). Upside: But it is a foot in the door, especially if you are interested in immigration and administrative law. A year or two there will make you competitive for non-supervisor GS-14/15 slots at Justice and DHS. Good luck to those who apply! |

Then I think of rents in DC and get that unpeaceful queasy feelin' |

I have a friend who has worked there. However, this person's instance, they occupied a position that had similar duties but had promotion potential to a 15, which they made in a couple of years. They also have a spouse who works full time as a fed.
From what I understand, it is a number crunching environment there at this level in terms of cranking out work. Anecdotally, and I stress that word, I have heard some negative things about how they treat military reservists who need to take leave and try to use "military leave" and instead of burning "annual leave."
As far as the DC area, I would not recommend relying for long on a GS-13 salary, especially at the low end of GS-13, if one is the single earner for a family with kids. In my experienced and semi-scientific view, it would be brutal to do that in the DC area unless you are willing to commute a very long distance in order to keep housing costs down (relatively speaking).

I thought these positions went to 15, too. Was surprised to see them at 13 with no promotion potential. Maybe a typo? |

Nice avatar, but the horse's mane combs to the wrong side or else the picture is reversed. Although that looks a lot better than the ones that go both ways. Pixie |

For those in term positions worried about being renewed, or those looking to escape their current situation for greener pastures (pun intended), allow me to plug a career in the US Army JAG Corps. Best career decision I ever made in my life. Details here: www.jagcnet.army.mil/Sites/JAGC.nsf#Fall hiring season is underway for both the Active Duty and Reserve side of the house. There is a complete listing of screening officers, sorted by state, that you can use to contact them to arrange an interview. Disclaimer: I do not speak for the Army or DoD. Summary of qualification requirements for the Reserves (note age limit of 33 unless you have prior commissioned service): ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS "All Army Reserve applicants must meet the following criteria at the time of entry into the JAG Corps. Interested applicants do not need to possess these qualifications in order to apply. Law students may apply as early as their final fall semester of law school. Be physically and mentally fit Be of good moral standing and character Demonstrate leadership potential and a record of proven scholastic ability Meet security clearance requirements Be a U.S. citizen (dual citizenship is not allowed) Hold a JD from an ABA-accredited law school (a foreign JD with a US LLM is not sufficient) At the time of entry onto active duty, be admitted to the bar of the highest court of any State, Commonwealth, or Territory of the United States, or the District of Columbia Be under the age of 33 (for RESERVES) at the time of entry into the JAG Corps (years of prior commissioned military service will increase the age limit). NOTE: AGE LIMIT IS 42 FOR ACTIVE DUTY. Waivers for those exceeding the age limit are considered in meritorious cases. Army Reserve Judge Advocates incur an eight year service obligation. This service obligation is split between drilling with an active Army Reserve unit and in the Individual Ready Reserve (an inactive, non-drilling military status)." GO ARMY! |

Guessing they don't want any 53 year old reservists with no military experience. |
