Internships
Congressman Auchincloss is pleased to offer internships in his Newton, Attleboro, and Washington D.C. offices through the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters. Hours are flexible to accommodate students' hectic schedules, but internships generally run from 9:00am to 5:00pm. Internships are intended for current undergraduate students, recent college graduates, and students currently enrolled in graduate school.
All interns are paid.
Qualified applicants should have strong oral and written communication skills, the ability to manage multiple tasks at once, a willingness to work in a fast-paced environment, and should be comfortable assisting constituents. Sound knowledge of Microsoft Office, a solid work ethic, and a basic understanding of the Congressional political process is expected.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to: answering and screening phone calls, working with staff to research legislative and casework-related issues, assisting with administrative tasks, drafting constituent correspondence on a variety of issues, assisting the press team with various tasks, and other projects as they arise.
