[quote=Anonymous]It's tricky, as you know, since the federal employment system only exists in the federal government, so that experience will take some nuance to translate to the private sector. You might have to start out lower than you are technically qualified for to build up experience under the wider employment law arena. Not that you are not qualified, you must might have to prove it to the private sector first. Emphasize your work with employment laws during the pre-federal employment and the hard and soft skills that co-exist, deemphasize the federal system part.

If you want to go in house, I would start with federal contractors, as the understanding of the client world will be helpful in spite of the different regulatory system you will be working under.

You might also want to look at roles in trade associations -- there are some related to federal employment or fed-adjacent. You could expand that into non-legal roles, like advocacy.

In the mean time, sign up for some Board member training programs and try to get on a non-profit board in an area you like. That can lead to relationships with like minded board members who can network jobs.[/quote]
