[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't waste your time.  The attorneys who will screen your resume will often be the types who couldn't hack it as a second or third-year associate, so they'll look for reasons to find fault with someone who is smarter than they are and lasted until they were a senior associate.

With a general litigation background, I'd look for an in-house position in MD or VA. [/quote]

First paragraph spoken like a true moron based on my 26 yrs. in fed service after private practice... most of the hiring people I dealt with and saw were easily as good as the private practice types I know and dealt with and in many cases better, as far as substantive expertise (but may have chosen to avoid the private firm b.s.).  Your stereotype is easy and snarky and maybe it works somewhere, but not with the people I worked with at my agency & others.

So tell us, how many federal applications have you put in and been rejected for?  You sound angry and entitled.[/quote]

and p.s., I left a partnership track situation to work in public service after practicing 7 yrs., lest you think I'm one of those failed 2nd or 3d yr. associates.[/quote]
