Political internships

<p>How are internships in politics and law at Swarthmore? What are some example internships, and is the Career Services generally helpful?</p>

<p>Career Services is generally helpful in putting people in contact with successful alums, but applying to places without any connections is difficult in the first 1-2 years. However, many of my friends (I’m a freshman, I’m talking about freshman) have managed to get internships with law firms, prosecutors, and even a politician’s office. You just have to work to get the interview, and then you’re in the same boat kids as the schools that are heavily recruited - they just had to work a little less to get their name out there.</p>
