USAO appellate

Post by Anonymous User » Tue May 24, 2016 9:04 am

I've got an upcoming panel interview for a job in the appellate division of a US attorney's office. Any idea what kinds of questions they'll ask? Or hypos they'll pose? It's a single round of interviews with ~6 people on the panel, including the USA.

What are the exit opportunities for these kinds of jobs? I assume going back to the private sector is unlikely, but that I could move around within DOJ or to another government agency without too much trouble. I don't have much experience (1 yr COA clerkship + 8 months in biglaw), so I'm anxious about jumping out of biglaw so quickly.

OP here. FWIW, no hypos. They asked why I wanted the job and then standard questions about my resume and work history.
