[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I generally avoid this debate, but I will add my two cents. When I was in college I interned for a government agency. I was blown away by what I saw and decided I would not work for the government. Those folks were what a lot of people consider stereotypical feds. This was a legal office. The receptionist refused to answer the phone b/c it wasn't in her job description (I don't know the full story). Folks gathered to do the crossword puzzle, etc. Quirky bunch.

While in law school I wound up doing an externship for a different Federal agency and was shocked by how hard working and professional everyone was. It totally changed my mind about the federal govt. I wound up working for a different agency and remain impressed with the work ethic of my fellow feds. I run across lazy or incompetent folks sometimes, but on the whole the individuals I work with and for work HARD. [/quote]

I'm a fed here and I'd agree with this. It's SO hard to know the work ethic of the place you're interviewing too.

I just got a new job with USA jobs and I was shocked it happened. I tried for 2 years on USA Jobs and finally something fell through. It's a terrible system, even when you're highly qualified like I was.[/quote]
