If anyone has read the glowing reviews of being a decision writer and wants that life, some new positions in the Chicago region (IL/WI/OH/MI/IN/MN) are open. www.usajobs.gov/job/720203500If you ask me it can be monotonous but the work-life balance and benefits are a major bonus. Rumor is we are hiring up to 500 new writers nationwide |

It does look interesting. Location is Miami FL - GS-13 - opened today, and closes when first 100 apps received or 8/10, whichever is first
Summary
The Social Security Administration's Office of the General Counsel (OGC) seeks Criminal Fraud Attorneys to work directly in the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) and serve as Special Assistant United States Attorneys. OGC criminal fraud attorneys investigate and prosecute criminal violations that undermine SSA programs, are responsible for all stages of the criminal judicial process, and collaborate with the Office of the Inspector General and other law enforcement agencies.

I'm not sure if this is something people on this board might be interested in: ATTORNEY-ADVISOR DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Office of the Solicitor Departmental Freedom of Information Act Office (FOIA), FOIA Litigation Team (FLT) www.usajobs.gov/job/772632000I see these sorts of FOIA jobs with some frequency on USA jobs. On the one hand, many seem to have great benefits: GS-13/-14, remote work. On the other hand, is the job simply document review? Or is there some level of variety, interesting legal analysis, etc.? I guess I just wonder whether this is a job that would get boring quickly and provide few tangible, marketable skills. Does anyone have any insight? |

From my extensive experience reading job postings, I see a lot of these so as far as marketability, the person who is good at the FOI schtick will always have work. It takes a person who enjoys FOI issues, and you may get to read some interesting stuff. Depends on the arc you see for your career.
I'd expect there are also jobs with public service groups for someone who is an FOI maven.
So great mobility among agencies, but perhaps a liklihood you could be pigeonholed, and have to really work to get your way out of that if you decide it's not for you after all. If you are intrigued, volunteer for some FOI work and see if it floats your boat.
On the plus side, I don't think it has the high hour demand and stress of litigation.

I think if I could do it all over again, I’d look long and hard at employment law positions in agencies that do MSPB/EEOC litigation (represent management in employment disputes). That gets you a lot of time in front of administrative bodies, it is a skill portable throughout the government, and it eventually makes you a good candidate for the MSPB or EEOC AJ jobs, which you might be able to parlay into IJ or, possibly, ALJ (although, in this day and age, I don’t know about ALJ so much…at least at SSA). It’s also great experience at counseling managers and building a good rapport with them. And even if you don’t move into the adjudicator role, you could use the litigation experience on your resume for a lot of federal attorney positions if you want to move on from it.
The ship has likely sailed for me in that regard, but if I was a young wannabe fed fresh out of passing the bar exam, that is where I would look.

In my experience (total of 36 years of which 15 were private practice in administrative litigation, 15 as a federal attorney in largely administrative litigation and 6 years as a SSA ALJ), the areas which are the best for federal exmployment are labor and employment, Contracting/FAR, Environmental, International and FOIA. |

Hi folks, it's been a minute since I visited this board. For those looking for something different / more stable / potentially better pay, I'll plug the Dept of Justice. Been there almost 10 years, and despite coming close a couple of times on ALJ/IJ slots (including being on the register when they pulled the plug on it a few years back), I have no regrets and couldn't be happier as a non-supervisory GS-15 (LOTS of those at DoJ). I've enjoyed the relative independence in my work, work-life balance, etc. In particular, I love being able to take leave at the last minute to go to one of our kids' school events, meet up with a friend who pops into town, or just cut out early to meet the spouse for beers before the school bus gets home. Happy hunting! www.justice.gov/legal-careers/vacancies |
