[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have worked at three federal agencies, one right out of law school and two after working at a firm. I got the first by applying to the agency's honors program (not DOJ), the next by applying through USAJobs (2003), and my current job by responding to a vacancy notice on the DOJ attorney vacancies website (2010). I have good credentials but did not clerk or go to a top 14 law school. So it can be done. That said -- and as I am sure you know -- the market is extremely tight right now. Friends who are on hiring panels have told me that their agencies are receiving large numbers of resumes from textbook stellar applicants (Top 5 law school, clerkship, non-share partner or senior associate from a good firm), even for line attorney positions. [/quote] Along those lines, my DH DOJ office has been turning down recent Supreme Court clerks. So job market is definitely tight (mainly because of budget) but not impossible. [/quote]
