[quote=Anonymous]Have to agree with 22:09. I recently retired after 26 yrs. with an agency including 23 in management. We typically had 200 applicants for a GS-14 or GS-15 position including BigLaw associates and even partners who want out. General experience such as 7 yrs. in a firm isn't going to help nearly as much as specific experience in areas that the agency you want to work for needs. In our case we didn't even interview anyone without significant experience in the particular regulatory or practice areas that we dealt with or needed help in. So your best shot is to tailor your approach to each specific position. A general idea that we were hiring a GS-14 or 15 slot (which, BTW, has not happened for 4-5 years and won't for the foreseeable future in my office) wouldn't help unless you had just what we needed (for ex., employment/EEO law in one case; specific statutory expertise in others).
