<p>Has anyone ever interned for a senator/congressman? How did you apply and how was it?</p>
<p>My senator asks for a writing sample on a topic of my choice, did anyone else have to do that? What did you write about? (This is in addition to a paper explaining why I want to be an intern)</p>
<p>don't do it
it's not as rewarding as it seems.
try to get a local councilman or assemblyman</p>
<p>Why isn't it rewarding?</p>
<p>.-_-.</p>
<p>you don't get to do stuff that are actually fun
you have to work a long time to get to do the things i did- casework, etc
working in a smaller office gives you a chance to really work on great projects and participate more</p>
<p>But wouldn't a place with a 'formal' internship program have more things to do than just calling a place an dasking if you can intern there?</p>
<p>trust me. its nothing special
you will be doing paperwork/b*tchwork for a LONG time
call around and tell the locals your interest in them im sure you'll find a more rewarding experience there</p>
<p>Hah ok thanks.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how to find a business internship? I live in a small suburb, there are no 'big' opportunities here</p>
<p>what kind of work are you looking for?
where exactly do you live?</p>
<p>dont listen to irap3pillows
do the intern with senator/congressman
its a wonderful precious opportunity</p>
<p>bold statement master. i'm going to assume you've never had that chance.</p>
<p>dont front</p>
<p>wow.........</p>
<p>Wow, you really want to intern for a congressman now?! Better be hot...</p>
