I have loved being an intern mostly because I have been able to learn so much and see the impact of my work on the organization and on the community. Being an intern is great because it really does allow you to grow as an individual. I still have two semesters left at ASU and would love to participate in other internships.
I recently saw a flyer to intern next semester at the Office of the Mayor, Greg Stanton, in downtown Phoenix. I missed the deadline to apply but emailed the person in charge at the office anyways and he made an exception and allowed me to send in my resume. Well, I recently had an interview and I think it went really well. The interview was very casual and I felt like it was more of a friendly conversation.
I would love to intern for the Mayor's office because it would give me experience at the city level, as much as I love working for a nonprofit I think it would be great to see the differences in the organizations. The man I met with at the office, Doug gave me a general overview of the projects. It sounded like I would be paired with different staff to help with projects of interest, from drafting policy to helping write a speech for the Mayor. I would also have the opportunity to go to public hearings or meetings that the Mayor attends in order to provide notes or other types of support.
Even though my schedule is so busy for next semester, I think it would be such an amazing opportunity. I find out in a week or so if I get accepted to the internship program.
