1. Some of the strengths within the organization I interned for include the amount of citizen out-reach events within our district that the district representatives and even Senator Huff were passionate about. This was because they all understood the importance of making constituents feel represented and also understood, by hosting out-reach events so often it also made the office of Senator Huff visible to the public eye. I also think that our strengths within the organization was our adamancy of being sure that every constituent concern was reported and noted to the Senator. In return we would always follow up with constituents to assure the constituents they were heard.
2. I think that overall the office of Senator Huff understood the importance of local representation, I personally have never felt so welcomed by my local representatives as I felt the office of Senator Huff made that a priority.
3. Sometimes acting as a district representative can be difficult as some of the constituents call angry or upset over a certain policy or vote on a bill on behalf of Senator Huff. Though the Senator can't please everyone, those that would call upset were hard to deal with in general because they were already so negative. This was a challenge for me as I worked for the senator, because I didn't always know what to say or how to respond.
4. I utilized ASU's career services when I was informed about the 2015 Fall Downtown Phoenix Career Fair. Here there were many local government, non-profit, and private oragnaviations looking for undergraduate students and even soon to be graduate students who were interested in an internship or job. This was very beneficial and even though I already work two jobs, I found it important to at least attend to understand what potential employers were looking for. ASU's career services are very resourceful in helping students get active in the hiring process.
