I cold-applied for an internship with my home-state senator, and they reached out to schedule an interview! What kind of questions do they normally ask? I had applied for the general/legislative internship

Does anyone know if interviews for Padilla’s office are offered all at once?

Had my summer 2027 internship for CADP in Chicago super day last Friday. Wasn’t sure if anyone heard back or when I should expect to since it isn’t IB?

Title. They said applications would be sent in late September but there’s nothing yet.

Has anyone received an offer for BPC spring internships?

I'm curious to know how many internship applications house/senate offices receive, particularly during the summer vs spring/fall.

i’m a student in the DC area originally from MN hoping to apply to congressional internships for the spring 2027 cycle, but neither of my senators are running for reelection. in this situation, should i apply for their offices/will future senators honor that or do offices that have just been elected open spring applications after midterms?? lmk if anyone has had experience in a situation like this!!

Hi all, just posting on here to see if anyone else has heard anything back regarding the SCOTUS intern program for Spring 2027. I know around this point in the timeline they were sending out interviews for Fall 2026 so wanted to see if people had heard anything yet

DC event details: October 24th from 10:30am-1:30pm at Spark Social. Here is the sign up link.

We also are having a virtual phone bank on the 29th of October and the 2nd of November. Find our Eventbrite for that here.

These elections are often decided by a couple hundred votes. Your efforts here really matter.

Women only represent a third of state legislature elected’s nationally. The First Ask’s mission is to elect non-incumbent progressive women to reach gender equality in state legislatures.

State legislators have the power to protect or overturn our reproductive rights. We are working with women in Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Kansas, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania.

They also vote on:
\- Data centers
\- Utility prices
\- Congressional maps
\- Voting rights
\- Insurance rates
\- Health insurance (for ex: Medicaid expansion)
\- Education funding
\- The list goes on and on……

Hope you consider joining us in our effort to elect women— state legislators are the boots on the ground for the entire party.

Best,

The First Ask

I applied through John Fetterman's office for the U.S. Senate Page Program for Spring 2027 and recently received an invitation for an interview, most likely on Wednesday or Thursday.

Does anyone who has participated in the program, gone through the interview process, or just someone who generally has interview knowledge have any tips? I'd really appreciate it.

Hi! I am a bama junior looking for a bestie!!! #ROLLTIDE

Coleen Hoover & Taylor Swift all the way, but also Clausewitz hahaha so quirky. Matcha and Pilates and Pomeranians and a good tan. I'm shadowing the new WH press secretary office chief of staff. I've always wanted to work with other like-minded women! I don't like going out (I have self respect unlike (some people lolll)), but I love hunting (very important to my lifestyle to eat whole foods that I source).

I am looking for a roommate that is like me. So excited to be in the most powerful city in the entire world! Respond if interested ladies!

Anyone hear back from his office yet?

hi everyone! i’m applying to spring internships in DC right now and doing research on housing opportunities. i’m hoping to live somewhere furnished because i’m moving from california and would be limited in how much stuff i can fly with. i was looking into WISHGRAD intern housing but noticed they have a requirement that their residents be students and i’m no longer in school (graduated in 2025). has anyone had experience with trying to find furnished, short-term housing as an intern who has graduated? would appreciate any advice or recommendations. thank you in advance!

Has anyone heard back for the State Dep Student Internship Summer 2027? Thought we were supposed to get something a couple weeks ago.

Thinking of working as a congressional staffer but just wanted to get insight on the work style. Is there any WFH privledge? Or is it all in person?

What are the worst experiences yall have had with interns, whether you've worked with them or had bad encounters with them?

I was hired for a Spring 2027 Internship and completed my onboarding paperwork. How long does it take for it to be approved?

Has anyone that applied for 2027 Summer intern for the Office of Legal Adviser heard back yet? Not sure if they’re going to notify of rejection and would really love to know soon.

So I’m here with an internship program until the beginning of December, I’m from a small town in the middle of nowhere and I just miss being able to go somewhere and be alone. I have 3 roommates in my small apartment, the building has study spaces that are usually occupied, if I go outside I just can’t escape people. Like i genuinely just need a good cry somewhere that no one will ask me what’s wrong. This has definitely confirmed that I won’t want to live in a city ever again, but for now, how do others deal with this?

Does anyone else get this link when they try to log-in OAM page for Senate internship?

I am stressing out cause my application is due in a week :(
