But what about you newbies out there?

As readers may have noticed, we had a flood of comments responding to the question: “How did you get your federal job?”

And judging from the responses, it seems the path into a federal job may have become less direct—and the application process less straightforward—as time went on.

Job fair?

College recruiter?

USAJOBS?

Newspaper ad?

Other?

Which way worked for you?
