Congressional hearings are 100% PR. My dad's friend testified during the housing loan collapse. She said the congressperson would ask a series of questions without even waiting for a response knowing that the cameras would pick up the questions for broadcast on TV. In several cases, the congressperson used their 5 min to rattle off some questions and then just got up and left the hearing.

She said for an all day hearing it's rare to have more than 3 or 4 congresspeople on the dais at one time. They are there for the photo opp at the beginning and then leave. They return when their staffer calls them to say it's their turn, they ask questions and then leave. She said when she watched the hearing on TV news that night, she was stunned because it looked like a full panel but most of the time she was speaking to one person or even an empty microphone.

I was told by a recruiter that my non profit experience is not transferable to private practice because the firm would have to invest time in me vs someone who already came from a firm. I do employment law (non profit) about a year & I use to do deportation defense (trial skills) year and half. Is this right? If so, what can I do ? I’d like to go private and learn more litigation skills (then the limited experience) I have
