[quote=Anonymous][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]

Thanks for proving the point.   It's why the OP will probably have a hard time.  The government hiring attoneys don't want talent, but instead mostly younger lawyers even dumber than they are whom they can boss around while claiming they are above the "private firm b.s."[/quote]

Your second statement continues to operate at the thoroughly clueless and uninformed/stereotypical level of drivel as your first one.

Your last sentence is utterly idiotic contrasted with the actual experience I had in over 20 yrs. of experience with DOJ and other federal agency lawyers: (a) talent is key; (b) younger doesn't matter, skill, production the ability to work independently does; and (c) the smart managers all know that the best thing to have is staff attorneys who are smarter, not dumber, than they are.

That illustrates at least 3 reasons why you probably haven't made the grade and have such venom based on stereotypes and silly generalizations.

Nice try but you still don't get an interview, Sherlock.  [/quote]
