[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone else been referred for this position? I was referred months ago and haven’t heard anything. What a blow to the ego to not even get an interview with bva. [/quote]

BVA hires virtually every attorney who applies for the decision writing job. Don’t worry, you will get the job. [/quote]

Don’t stress. This is a continuous hiring cycle, so they are doing it in batches probably. BVA is always looking for attorneys since there’s a huge attrition rate [/quote]

In 2017, BVA implemented a writing skills test because many of their new attorney hires couldn't write coherent decisions. BVA management has since eliminated the test because it weeded out so many candidates. That's good news for that poster, as the change is a sign that BVA can't hire enough people.[/quote]

Since when did they eliminate this test? I was hired back in 2020 and I had the test [/quote]

Second half of 2021, if I recall correctly.[/quote]

It was a dumb test - I can’t imagine it provided useful information. Timed test and you couldn’t cut and paste - most of the job is cut and paste, so it was pretty unrealistic. Probably unwieldy, too. Don’t know why the troll keeps saying it was to determine whether one could write - I think it had more to do with whether one could do legal analysis. They don’t need writers, they’ve got plenty of tools for cutting and pasting [not going to use the name of the tool or troll will use it to pretend he worked there]

Wonder if they every looked at the correlation between test scores and attorneys who were good that the job
