[quote=Anonymous]First, very few offices on the hill care about how prestigious your university was, especially in the House. If your niece wants to work in a personal office - as opposed to a committee - the front line staff are generally from the state since they interact with constituents and help coordinate tours. These jobs are rarely posted and are filled via word of mouth. Internships are critical for forming these relationships. Also, she needs to be prepared to work in the office, not from home. I was hiring for an entry level hill job last month and most applicants requested to work from home and were shocked that we required staff in office. Entry level staff are basically customer service jobs. Getting a job on a campaign doesn’t always work unless she’s doing press. The jobs don’t translate well to Washington. [/quote]
