In light of the unprecedented number of layoffs in the legal industry, more attorneys are seeking legal jobs within Government, legal careers that have traditionally been more stable and have offered a better work-life balance than private practice. Securing some federal legal positions requires submission of a KSA (Knowledge, Skills and Abilities) Statement. A solid understanding of how to write a competitive KSA Statement will greatly enhance your potential for securing a federal position. This workshop explains the secrets to successful KSAs and shows you how you can distinguish yourself from other qualified candidates.
Our presenter Kate Neville is founder and principal of Neville Career Consulting, LLC, which provides guidance to attorneys considering a job change or career transition, whether within the practice of law or to another field. She began her career practicing law at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett and as an in-house attorney for New York City government. She then shifted to management consulting work and policy analysis and has held such positions in both for-profit and non-profit entities.
After serving as an advisor in Georgetown Law’s Office of Career Services, Kate decided to use her experience to help practicing attorneys identify the full range of their professional options and develop strategies to pursue them successfully.
