[quote=Anonymous]Definitely explain the gap in your resume. i would think the gap in employment because it can be explained will not stop Fed HR from filtering you out. the thing to know is that the legal job market is really terrible right now so you have a lot of competition. Some from recently laid off big law attorneys. Are you exclusively sticking with Feds? because the other problem with that is that they are really trying to hire vets. Might want to start with some volunteering at non-profits or hourly stuff at small firms. Your contacts are going to be key here. Call all of them. get on linkedin connect with all old colleagues and current friends/ acquaintances. Ask people to review your profile and resume. It is amazing how everyone will help you. People want to help especially if you ask. Put the word out there. Good luck! I am about to leave my job and do what you did. I hope to get back in someday too. [/quote]
