Government Relations Intern

May - August 2019 • Washington, DC

What I liked

I liked getting hands on experience in a professional setting in a large city. I learned a lot, and was able to apply the things I had learned in political science classes to real life.

What I wish was different

I wish I had been able to stay longer. I also should have pushed myself to make more connections and get coffee with professionals in my field of interest.

Advice

Take a risk and take a job that will challenge you. I had so many doubts in the beginning, but should have been more confident in myself.
