But if they like you.......
More to the point plenty of appellate practices /practice groups would probably like to have you. 
If you've got the transcript, go for it.

Until you're invited to interview--there's really nothing to turn down.

Stuuttgart is wonderful. MY uncle bombed it during the war but serving at US European Command was one of the peak moments of my career.

Am I reading it right that if you ever worked for GAO, Senate restaurants and a couple other entities, you cannot apply? Sounds interesting...

A bit late to the party as it were for the USDA AJ position, but in case anyone is applying or might apply in the future, I know a bit about these jobs, having applied for and interviewed for one of these positions before becoming an ALJ for SSA.

USDA has ALJs and NAD has nothing to do with the USDA ALJ Program. It is a separate program that hires AJs and is not like the SSA Appeals Council. AJs hold hearings on a wide range of matters including participation in farm loan programs; conservation programs; rural electricity and development; crop insurance claims, etc. - hearings are not APA "on the record" hearings formally, but they are hearings with similar protections to the APA in substance. I definitely think these count as qualifying experience for ALJ purposes. NAD has a good website at www.nad.usda.gov/ that has a lot of information and decisions you can review if you like.

As to the non-JD requirement - my understanding was there were individuals who still worked for the NAD that were not JDs and were essentially holdovers from before and that realistically you had to have a JD to get the job: they just couldn't have it a requirement as long as some non-JDs held the position. As an aside, it seemed to me a great job and I would have loved to do it had the ALJ position not come through for me.

Practical considerations - at least when I applied, AJs worked from their homes and had to travel within their region to conduct hearings. Downside - no support staff and you end up doing a lot of your own clerical work and traveling quite a bit.

Question on other position application requirements, in an available to the "public" position that lists as required documents an Sf-50, am I safe to assume that if you have not been employed by the federal government you are not going to have an SF-50 to provide?

The same listing lists Veterans Preference Documents (DD-214 etc), which are also optional since they only are available to veteran service members, as "required documents."

That language appears in every listing I have seen and buried in there is an "if applicable" or similar type of phrase; on the questions you are asked if you check no for US Government employment or on veteran status, you then answer the following questions not applicable (if offered) or "no" if that's not an option.

While I have yet to get to the interview stage, I've been referred over 8 times so my answers (not a vet, not government employed) must have been OK or presumably I wouldn't make it that far.

Now if it's for one of those job openings with the black badge of a certain level or type of employment, that's different.

All the best and good luck!

I assumed as much, but you know what assuming gets you. Good to know and thanks.

You will have neither if you haven't been a federal employee or in the military.

The SF 50 is exclusive to federal employees and the DD214 to the military.
