[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Not off the top of my head, but it has been posted on a similar thread in the past when this dispute arose, should be findable via search if one is so inclined.  In addition, HR for my banking agency was quite clear that attorney positions were subject to the posting requirement. I've heard the same thing from attorney friends at other agencies.  People grumble because of the time required to fill a position and the veteran preference requirement.[/quote]

It is not findable via search because no such requirement exists.  If you are the same person that suggested that nobody has ever provided a citation for the lack of posting requirement, I find it amusing that you base your conclusion on the existence of a requirement the fact that people "grumble."  There is also a link provided up-post that proves that not all attorney vacancies are posted on USAjobs.[/quote]

Nor does veterans preference apply to attorney jobs.[/quote]

Again, you are wrong.[/quote]

Actually she isn't.  [/quote]
