[quote=Anonymous]General lit is a tough move into the government. It is easier with specialized experience (e.g. securities, health law, etc...). It's not impossible, though. Do you have admin law litigation experience? That would make you stand out and is a necessary skill set for many agencies. General civil litigation is less in demand. As others have said, sometimes big law associates think they are stepping down by joining the feds and that the govt will open arms to them. It's not that easy. We get hundreds of applicants for open positions. We can be very picky and look for on point experience. That said, like anywhere else, don't discount the power of "who you know." If you don't have an obvious skill set match with a particular agency, start networking like crazy, info interviewing, etc...Getting your resume in the door through an informal process onto someone's desk can be very, very helpful.
