[quote=Anonymous]I agree that everyone will assume you don't want to work law firm hours, so what you need to sell is why you want to work for this agency. When you applied to law firms you had to explain why you wants to work for that firm over others, same deal. When I made the jump, I was surprised that people focused on making sure I was certain about the pay cut. This happened at two agencies. I now realize how many hoops you have to jump through to hire someone in the federal government and how annoying it is to make an offer and have it rejected because the person then realized she could not handle the cut in income. It is important for you to convey that you are serious about leaving your firm and that you are not interviewing just to check out your options or because you had a bad month. [/quote]
