Introduction

Hi, my name is Adam Hill, and I'm majoring in Public Service and Public Policy. I'm a senior and will have completed my degree at the end of this semester. In April, I began my internship at the Congressional District Office of Matt Salmon, who represents Arizona's 5th district in the House of Representatives.

Three things I hope to achieve through this internship are:
  • make contacts in the office that could be beneficial to my future career
  • gain an appreciation and understanding for how district offices interact with constituents
  • decide of the world of federal politics is a place I could ever see myself. I've always figured that if I ended up working in government, it would be a local administrative role, rather than a federal one, so this will be a chance to explore that assumption a little.

    Hey Adam, I wish you the best in accomplishing your goals of graduating from ASU and making contacts in Matt Salmon's office to benefit your career. I know that I did an internship in my undergraduate degree with Congressman Trent Franks' district office. I still have contacts years later with the office and the congressman has written recommendations for me for other positions that I have put in applications for. I'm sure you'll get good experience talking with people about politics on the phone and hopefully doing some federal casework. Reach out to me on my blog anytime if you have questions and I hope you have an awesome internship!
