[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dept of Labor Benefits Review Board positions posted on Usajobs could be an exit for some looking to leave[/quote]

Thanks for posting, but that position requires one year of specialized experience:

Specialized experience for this position is described as having a working knowledge of the Black Lung Benefits Act; the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act and its extensions; or similar litigation experience through appellate or federal law, such as workers' compensation experience.

The vast majority of BVA attorneys don’t have that specialized experience.[/quote]

Vast majority of all attorneys in general don't have that experience. [/quote]

Lol, you're so defensive. Yes, the vast majority of attorneys don't have that experience, but this is a BVA thread, and the poster announced the vacancy for the benefit of BVA attorneys.[/quote]

Maybe I misread what the previous poster said.  I think they meant that, because most attorneys in general do not have the specific experience sought by the BRB, then one should consider applying regardless of whether they have the background. [/quote]

Hmmm, maybe some people who would like to leave BVA are there because they don’t know how the application game is played? Most vacancy announcements are written with the agency’s wish list and no one meets the criteria (ever heard of a purple squirrel?). A BVA attorney could answer the questionnaire and make sure their resume shows their experience with similar issues. Black lung? No, but agent orange exposure? Disability from inhaling jet fumes on an aircraft carrier? Decision writing is decision writing - sell those skills and demonstrate your ability to quickly learn other subject matter/think critically/problem solve[/quote]
