>> Subject: IMPORTANT: ALJ Exam Opening Imminent
>> 
>> THIS EMAIL WAS FORWARDED TO ME. I AM NOT THE "I" IN THE EMAIL. 
>> 
>> GET THE WORD OUT!!
>>  
>> I have just received the heads up from the US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) that the new ALJ examination announcement will be posted on the USAJobs.gov (www.usajobs.gov) website "soon."  See attached notice.  This means that we are likely to see the opening of the examination within the next few days, perhaps as early as tomorrow (Friday), which means the two week period in which OPM will accept applications is likely to be much sooner than we anticipated.
>>  
>> Diversity Committee members should notify their federal, state, and local minority bar associations that the opportunity to apply will be limited.  Interested candidates should register at the www.usajobs.gov website by creating a free account, and create an alert for the keyword "Administrative Law Judge" however, as the opening is imminent I recommend that interested candidates visit the website daily to see if the application period has commenced. 
>>  
>> Interested applicants should gather their relevant information, including places you have lived and worked since high school, as well as references and significant cases, including opposing counsel and judges before whom you have appeared, with contact information.  You may be asked to provide this information as part of the application.
>>  
>> The application will include an online examination in addition to providing background and personal information.  Interested candidates should block out a period of at least a few hours to input their application online and to take the online examination.  You CANNOT study for this exam so there are no materials to review.
>>  
>> Applicants will have to demonstrate seven years legal experience, and may be asked to demonstrate litigation experience.  All interest parties are encouraged to apply.
>>  
>> I will forward additional information as it becomes available.  Until the announcement is posted we cannot state exactly what information candidates will need to provide but the above suggestions are based on prior openings of the ALJ examination.
