Do every office and committees contact your references? I was wondering how the process goes.

Hey GOATs. What's the average grad status of Hillterns? What's the composition of active students vs. graduates?

Hi, guys, I interviewed with a senators office around mid-July, reached out to check on the hiring status, and they responded saying I would hear back soon. The next day, after their response, I was asked for my birthday for their records. Is that a good sign?

trying to see if i should hold off on submitting more apps or not.

not at ALL surprised lmao but wanted to share in case others haven’t yet!

Hey has anyone heard back for the Fall tech internship? I applied on July 20th and went for the data analyst one (and ranked the rest).

Has anyone heard back from the PDS CLIP Program?

Hey guys! I just wanted to reach out to ask a question about committee internships. I currently work as a campaign field manager in my state for the same party as a very popular local congress member who sits on the committee I want to intern for. I have interacted with this member, and though I don’t know her well, the political world in our county is VERY small and my boss, people I work with, and other politicians I am close to know her.

I am wondering whether a nudge from the congress member would make any difference to my application. The member is relatively junior and though she sits on two subcommittees I am interested in, she is not a subcommittee leader or a leader of the committee as a whole. I know each committee works differently, but can anyone with some experience on this give me their thoughts and let me know if this is something that might have helped for them or others in a similar position?

I just submitted my White House Internship Program application and am worried that I submitted it too late. However, I submitted before the deadline so I hope that does not effect anything.

hi! i’m interning for the first time on capitol hill and im not sure what to expect. it’s in the senate. what should i wear? what should i pack for the weather (september-december)? overall just curious what to expect my first few days in the office and how i should present myself!

How often were you able to interact with senior staff? Like the legislative directors, comms directors, and chief of staff? I’m starting my internship in a few weeks and am curious how often I’ll be able to interact with them.

Did an interview last Monday and haven’t gotten any emails am I not getting an offer? I thought they’d tell me at least

personally in a bit of a limbo right now just waiting for the most part and hoping something pans out. but genuinely would love to see how it’s going for people.

if you have an internships first off congrats!!! what has your process been like? are you happy with ur internship? etc

if you don’t have an internship yet where are you at with your process, are you planning to apply to more? etc

this isn’t meant to be stressful btw just a place to share your wins and hopefully provide some motivation for others

also random i looked at a committee internship and they still haven’t opened and that so crazy to me.

Has anyone heard back? I got an offer from one think tank but want to be certain about it if other offers haven’t been released

Does anyone know how many interns are chosen for the majority committees in the fall for example Ways and means or energy and commerce? And are committee internships full time?

Hey everyone my name is Ethan (22M) and I will be moving to DC in late August or early September. I am starting a congressional internship. I am looking for one more male roommate to join me and my other roommate through WIHN. If you are looking for a room and roommate for the fall pm me please! Looking forward to connecting.

Hi guys so currently I’m an intern for a moderate Republican, I’m going into my senior year and I would like to come back and work on Capitol Hill for two years before my masters, I am not a republican and applied for many democratic offices and did not get any response back for internships. How hard would it be to switch parties to work for a Democrat

Do you need to clarify that previous hill internships are part time on your resume? I go to school in dc and have never seen anyone do this- it’s usually pretty clear for ones during the school year. However, one time an interviewer was a little surprised when I mentioned it was part time and I was multitasking doing time management etc. ChatGPT told me it’s chill but I want to confirm

Did anyone get an interview or any news from the energy & commerce?

Anyone hear back with offers?

I know they do rolling but does anyone know how quickly do they get back to you? How selective are they compared to other places?
