United States Senator Joni Ernst

Intern

May - July 2018 • Washington, DC

What I liked

I loved everything about the experience. From the people I met and worked with to the actual work, everything was enjoyable. It was really cool giving tours of the U.S. Capitol building.

What I wish was different

I wish I had waited another year or two to do the internship. I was only 19 and I was just a little too young for the city.

Advice

Go on coffee meetings with staff to network. They have helped me since the internship for other jobs.

Congressional Intern

July - August 2018 • Washington, DC

What I liked

Living in D.C. and working for a senator who loves her constituents was incredible.

What I wish was different

Daily tasks were monotonous.

Advice

Do not be afraid to ask questions and do things outside of your comfort zone. Use your internship as a tool and educational experience.
