1. Every Monday at the district office of Senator Bob Huff, the capitol office would hold a conference call with the district office for organizing and planning all things related to the Senator. We would go over many things such as scheduling meetings and appearances, legislative updates from the capitol, the monthly newsletter, casework, correspondence updates, outreach events, and any other reminders or comments. These meetings were very interesting, as it connected the district office with the capitol office.
2. I have attended many of the job fairs at the Downtown Phoenix campus where the job fairs usually focus on public sector jobs, these are interesting because there is one convenient place for potential employers who are seeking educated employees seeking jobs in the public sector. These job fairs that are hosted by career services are very helpful and informative, and as someone who graduates in spring, I feel as if I should take full advantage of career services.
3. My favorite thing was to work outside of the office, at events, specifically outreach events were the most fun. Outreach events were events that the Senator Huff staff would plan for the community. This summer I was able to work a few outreach events, and my first one was a Facebook event, where Facebook professionals came to speak to small business owners within the district to teach them how they can advertise their business through Facebook. This was interesting to meet so many small business owners from within the district that learned a lot of information from this event.
4. Another outreach event I got to work was a "Senior Scam Stopper" hosted in our City of Diamond Bar, at this event we invited all people, but focused on reaching out to the elderly crowd so they could learn about information and defensive mechanisms to avoid identity theft or fraud. It was a great turn out and it seemed to be very helpful and informative to the crowd.
Thanks for sharing your post, I enjoyed all of your post but mainly, post 3 because I also love being outside the office and in the field doing work.I found it really cool that got to meet small business owners from specific districts and were able to learn. My internship involved alot of office work but the best moments were when I was in the field getting a "hands on" experience. I look forward to reading your future posts.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it is nice to be able to be outside instead of stuck in a office all day. One of my favorite things about interning for DCS is being able to get out of the office and visit with children each month. I really enjoy all the little personalities the children have.
