You are responsible for securing an internship before leaving for
D.C. Utilize
all of the resources available to you both on the Web and in hard
copy, and see a career advisor about how to find an
internship that suits your interests, how to prepare an effective
resume, and to get your Letter of Intent critiqued.
As an intern you might
perform such functions are research, writing, attending and reporting
on congressional hearings, planning activities, and involvement in
other aspects of the work of the organization. Interns also must
take on some general office duties. The key to a good internship
is a balance between the two.
Both paid and unpaid
opportunities are available in D.C. Many government agencies
offer only unpaid internships, while many non-profit organizations
offer a stipend. Choose your internships on the educational and
career value, they provide, not solely on salary.
