[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to get a govt attorney position right now but keep getting rejected. Any advice?[/quote] Keep trying and plan long-term. I applied to 11 or 12 positions over the course of a year (as a 4th-year associate). I started applying before I was truly desperate to leave, knowing it would take a while. I was open-minded about where I applied -- I applied unless I knew for sure I would hate it. I got one position and, shortly after I accepted, was invited for an interview for another which of course I turned down. But who knows how that one would have turned out. So one position out of 11 or 12, at a non-sexy agency, is not a great success rate. It may just take a long time. My DH got the very first position he ever applied for, but he was a perfect fit and his agency is huge and hires regularly. [/quote]
