News you can use 👇
🍂Are you ready? We declare summer OVER in DC. That means we don't see much potential for sustained 90-degree weather. But we do see LOTS of nice days ahead.🍂 washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/0…
🤩. (We just wish they’d asked how many started their careers as interns… we’re guessing a LOT!) @thehill: “The 25 staffers who make Capitol Hill run” thehill.com/homenews/41925…
- ask people about themselves (everyone loves that) - Ask “were you an intern?” - remember that even members of congress get nervous! #internapalooza
How to conquer social anxiety when networking? - Be prepared. Have some questions - it is a skill that you WILL build - set goals: talk to 3 ppl - if you see someone standing by themselves, they will be SO happy if you talk to them - can always talk about weather #internapalooza
“The thing that is going to make you stand out: hustle, reliability, that you show up… when it’s time to hire, people remember that” — @CapitolK_Aus #internapalooza
*Appropriate* social media use — Connect w/ people on Twitter or LinkedIn (not more permanent platforms) If you got out for drinks with the office DO NOT post photos Show good judgment #internapalooza
Congress is a *customer service* job — make sure to share your relevant experience (geek squad, retail, food service) in your interview — knowing how to work with people is important! #internapalooza
Thank you notes! — @TomManatos “it makes you stand out. … don’t let someone hear about a job they helped you get by reading about it in Politico” #internapalooza
Build your own “kitchen cabinet” or your “board of directors” to support you and mentor you — @CapitolK_Aus #internapalooza
“Dont be too picky about that first Hill job… just get that @mail.house.gov or @senate.gov and go from there” @CapitolK_Aus “It’s such a small community, the reference is essential” — Kelle #internapalooza
“A lot of focus is put on building the reputation of the Member of Congress… but you are building YOUR brand too!” — kelle strickland @conginst #internapalooza
“Be persistent without being annoying” (that’s the skill!) @CapitolK_Aus, Kelle Strickland @TomManatos #internapalooza
Bipartisan relationships happen people! @TomManatos has proof! ❤️😍 (from crossing the aisle to walking down the aisle!) 😉 #internapalooza
New resources available to House interns — this is the first intern class to have access! #internapalooza
John Salamone from @CAOHouse introduces the new Intern Resource Office in the House “think of your career as a puzzle” #internapalooza
How to crush the project? Take notes as instructions give & repeat back; make SURE you understand @Taylor_J_Swift Understand the deadline, set multiple reminders & *communicate* if running late — @h__wint #internapalooza
