Summer Employment?

[Kristina]

I'm interning for Congresswoman Anna Eshoo (D-CA) this summer on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. Congresswoman Eshoo represents the 14th district, which is the Palo Alto area in Northern California and home to Cory from team 100. She sits on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Energy & Commerce Comittees. These are two very prestigious committees, especially with Iraq and Enron issues.

My responsibilities range greatly. I do the basic office work such as answer phones, sort A LOT of mail (she gets the most mail, excluding leadership offices), fax things, run errands, ordering flags, etc. Our office also gives tours to constituents who come to DC, so I lead those. I've also been starting to do more substanitive work like preparing news clips, going to committee meetings and hearings, researching and writing letters back to constituents on a vast array of issues.

Some big perks of the job include learning about so much legislation, especially since they're at the end of a session during an election year so they're trying to get through a lot. A big part of the commerce committee is doing telecommunication stuff, so be prepared to see a bill proposing an end to spyware soon. Also, they have free speakers for us all the time. Last week I saw many members of Congress and Michael Moore, this week I'm seeing George Stephanopoulos, and next week is House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Needless to say it's a really cool job, even if I'm not getting paid.

I wish I could say I'm interning at Motorola like a few of my teamattes are (specialagentjim is one) but I work at Larry's Ice Cream. It used to be a big franchise but know there's only 3 left and are all privately owned (the others are in Miami and St. Petersberg). I work about 20-30 hours per week. Fun Job plus get to eat free ice cream (when the owners aren't around )

I work 25-40 hours a week in the kitchen/dining room of a local nursing home. Not the best, but jobs were very scarce around here. I also get to go into work at 5 in the morning .

I'm doing temporary work for Orbis Corporation - everything from filling out equipment lists, getting ready for audits, making sure the testing equipment is calibrated, etc and filling in for the receptionist when she's sick!

I'm also doing temp. work for SEEK Inc, a Milwaukee area staffing service. Both jobs give me 0-40 hours per week, depending on how many jobs are available.

Of course, I'm *still* looking for a fulltime (40-50 hpw) job in the Milwaukee area, so if you know of anyone who's hiring, let me know!

I'm working at the Naval Base in South Philly. It is a part time internship (3 days a week) with Navsea which is the government engineering firm for the navy. I was able to get this job through a mentor on my team (or former team if you will) who is the manager of the department which develops antenae systems for the submarines. Its kind of an introduction to electrical engineering and I get to play with fancy and expensive equipment, but I also have to do run of the mill stuff picking up odds and ends around the lab. Im happy, its good money and a great resume builder.

I also work as a hostess at Houlihans on the weekends. I love working because it actually causes me to make more fun plans with friends. Usually during summer I am so bored I am too lazy to go and have fun. This summer has been awesome!

You can see the handiwork I'm carrying on here:

It's not a bad job per se, but I definitely have plenty of CD-browsing time while I'm working there 8.5 hrs a day...

I work at Canobie Lake Park (amusement park in southern NH) at a food stand making funnel cakes and ice cream.

I'm selling fireworks!

It's easy, but about as exciting as watching paint dry when there's no business. "Product testing" makes up for the downtime though
