Federal workers: Is your job what you envisioned when you left school? | #FedBuzz

By Natalie Jennings

It’s that time of year when a new crop of graduates sets out on for a career, many fresh off encouraging commencement speeches from top government officials.

View Photo Gallery: A look at Howard University’s and the University of the District of Columbia’s 2012 commencements held on Saturday, May 12.

Commencement season and this popular discussion on our Federal Buzz partner site, GovLoop, prompted this week’s Federal Buzz Question of the Week: Are you doing the job you dreamed of having when you were fresh out of school? If you’re not in your dream job, then what’s the plan to get it?

You can weigh in on GovLoop, in the form below, or on Twitter using the hashtag #FedBuzz.
