The White House; Washington DC

My primary job responsibilities at the White House were to assist in daily logistical operations to support the White house office and staff. This included assisting with technology requests, parking, workplace acquisition and movement, along with various projects and duties that changed daily depending on the needs of the office.

I consider this placement as a very good to excellent placement in most fields and i would recommend it to other students as it is a one of a kind internship in the White House. There is no other place on earth that can give a more inside look at the world of politics and how the federal government works.

If I could change one thing about the placement, I would have been placed into my field of Policies, rather than management and administration since it is not my main area of practice.

My advice to other students is to just apply for jobs! you never know when you might just get what you looking for.
