Even after getting accepted to Harvard Law school, Woodward chose not to study law. Instead, he applied for an internship in The Washington Post. He worked there as an intern for two weeks.

In less than a year, Woodward sharpened his skills and got the opportunity to work for The Washington Post once again.
Woodward kept working at The Washington Post. Due to his dedication and hard work, the post appointed him as an assistant managing editor in 1979.
