App Bar: Federal jobs, wage and hour guide and yet another ask-a-lawyer option.
DOJ Law Jobs
Great timing. The boss announces his resignation and the department launches a help wanted app. While departing Attorney General Eric Holder considers his options and offers, now’s as good a time as any to look at opportunities for lawyers and law students interested in joining the Department of Justice. DOJ Law Jobs released in September features listings of current openings for experienced and entry-level lawyers, as well as paid and volunteer internships for law students, at the federal arm that boasts it’s “the world’s largest law office, employing more than 10,000 attorneys nationwide.”
DOJ says it “has opportunities for you at every stage of your legal career,” although these jobs are notoriously highly selective. Justice is much more than federal prosecutors and the world-famous Federal Bureau of Investigation. Click on “hiring organizations” to scroll the line-up of DOJ agencies and offices in which you may land your next law job. You might find an opening in the Drug Enforcement Administration or Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. How about the Bureau of Prisons, Office on Violence Against Women, Interpol Washington, U.S. Marshals Service, or many other DOJ offices? Select “areas of law” to find the offices that handle your favorite practice areas, including antitrust, tax and immigration.
The app is intended as informational and does not enable applying for these openings—follow links to actually submit your resume and apply for the positions. Search by location including Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and overseas. Save and email job notices. So while the White House searches for Holder’s successor (and doesn’t appear to be in a hurry to find her or him), download DOJ Law Jobs and see if there’s a role for you. For some reason there’s no listing for Attorney General. Free, iOS Android version coming.
