[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some agencies don't post on USA jobs for attorney positions, so it is key to monitor those you are looking at closely and know where they post.[/quote]I have never heard of this before.  What are some of these agencies and how does one monitor their job openings if they do not post publicly?[/quote]

+1 I am pretty sure they are required to post on USAJOBS if they are doing an open hiring process.[/quote]

They are not.  Excepted service attorney jobs are not required to be posted on USAjobs.  For example, you will not find a corresponding USAjobs posting for all of these vacancies:

We've had this discussion before.  Excepted Attorney positions are required to be posted on usa.jobs and there are a few exceptions that are suppose to be used only on a limited basis (i.e. time is of the essence).  No one claiming that attorney jobs don't need to be on usa.jobs has ever provided a citation to support this assertion.[/quote]

Could you post a citation to support your assertion that they [b]are[/b] required to be posted?  There isn't one.  The requirement of public posting applies to competitive service jobs.  5 USC 3330 ("The Office of Personnel Management shall establish and keep current a comprehensive list of all announcements of vacant positions [b]in the competitive service[/b] within each agency that are to be filled by appointment for more than one year and for which applications are being...") There is no corresponding requirement for excepted service Schedule A attorney jobs.  It may be that most agencies use USAjobs, as it is the best way to reach a wide audience, but it is not required.[/quote]
