[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of ediscovery job do you have? We can help you translate those skills into something else. But just saying “ediscovery” and I am “hopeless” shows an inability to think outside of the box.  I’ve been in ediscovery for over a decade and I don’t feel hopeless at all. In fact, I love what I do. [/quote]

I also work in real ediscovery, and I'm frankly a little annoyed that a bunch of contract attorneys/document reviewers are conflating what they do with what I do.  What I do is challenging and fun and requires real motivation, intellectual curiosity, and an ability to solve problems.  I also haven't made $40K since my second year out of college and currently get paid more than junior-level BigLaw associates.  Contract reviewers, please don't run around telling people you work in "ediscovery" - you do not.  Your job has just moved from reviewing boxes of paper to Relativity (or whatever online platform is used).  If you can't administer Relativity, get data into it, set up batches and review queues for both linear and tech-assisted review, you're not in the game.

Honestly, OP, I can see why you've been stuck in document review for almost two decades.  You seem to be looking for other people to provide solutions for you rather than actively participating in solving your own problem.  It's really frustrating to see people ask good questions about your skills/experience, share theirs, and try to help you and have you give terse, unhelpful answers and accuse people of bullying you.  This is your life and your career, and you need to be actively involved in the process!

Also, applying to government jobs is an art form.  If you want to be successful there, it's a whole different process than applying for private industry jobs.  You have to use keywords, address KSA points using the same language in the posting, and some other federal hiring oddities.  If you want to do that, make sure you're looking at the online resources geared to maximizing your application package.[/quote] real ediscovery means you run metrics and fire peolle for not reviewing quick enough . I bet you sleep well at night with that lack of conscience [/quote]

I remember doing that years ago to make some money part time during college. I channeled my inner Yosarian when we were supposed to be blacking out a set list of items. No one ever said anything even over the sheets that were entirely black save a random 'the' I can only assume that no one ever reviewed anything [/quote]
