THANK YOU. I'm a soon to be college grad looking for a job in DC, and these are so helpful.
I am looking to get a position on the Hill and trying to squeeze out of the hedge fund industry and have no Hill experience. I'm finding this to be tough to crack into and I've been very aggressive with sending my resume out. I realize its a tough job market, but any suggestions or input?
Anon - thanks for the kind words!
Britt - I never worked directly on Capitol Hill, but my guess is that they are flooded with applications. You need to find ways to at least meet/talk to people - which may be difficult if you are not in DC area. Have you contacted the local (non-DC) offices of your Senators or Congressman? You might be able to at least get someone to give you 15 minutes of their time to give you some suggestions.
You have to find a way to connect with people directly if you plan to stand out from the dozens to hundreds of resumes that Hill offices surely receive - you might want to look at the Fortune article at the end of Wednesday's listings for a little motivation, as well.
