Hultgren accepting intern applications for fall, spring

Campton Hills, IL - U.S. Representative Randy Hultgren (IL-14) announced he is now accepting applications for fall 2015 and spring 2016 semester internships in both his Washington, D.C., and Campton Hills offices.

The position is unpaid and will run approximately from now through December for the fall semester, and January to May for the spring semester.

Academic credit may be available and schedules can be flexible for those with classes or other obligations.

Applicants from the 14th Congressional District are preferred.

Applications for the fall semester are ongoing.

For spring semester applicants, applications are due by Dec. 1, 2015.

"During my time in Congressman Hultgren's office I have written letters to concerned constituents, conducted policy research for staff members, given tours of the Capitol to fantastic people from the 14th District and drafted a short speech that the Congressman delivered on the House floor," said Tebo, a recent intern. "Attending House and Senate hearings, learning about the history of the nation's capital and staffing a meeting with the Hong Kong Commissioner for Economic and Trade Affairs have been just a few of the unforgettable moments I've enjoyed here. I've had the privilege to see the legislative process from the inside, and met fascinating people who I would not have otherwise been fortunate enough to meet; the entire experience has been invaluable."

Applicants should be college students or recent graduates, and will assist staff with constituent relations, policy and outreach efforts. Many duties will be administrative in nature, but interns may also be asked to staff Congressman Hultgren at meetings in the district or assist legislative staff in Washington.

Applicants should email a resume, cover letter and writing sample to email.randy@mail.house.gov and specify whether they seek a position for the Campton Hills or Washington office.
