Description

The 2016 ALJ Announcement is coming. Its precise contents are unknown. However, the qualifications for the position are known, as is OPM’s history of screening ALJ candidates. We also know how positions requiring similar skills are screened and evaluated, across civilian government. The 2nd Edition of the ALJ Writing Guide reviews the changes in ALJ hiring since 2009, including the innovative 2013 ALJ exam. It includes:

* Sample federal resumes for ALJ candidates

* Sample qualifying administrative law and litigation narratives

* Definitions for all 13 competencies tested in 2013

* OPM did not provide definitions in the 2013 announcement.
