5 Tips for Entry Level Political Talent
TL:DR
- Go where the jobs are. You can’t control where campaign districts are. Politics is an in-person industry until you’re more senior, and even then, remote roles are rare.
- Work in person early in your career. People can see your work, teach you, and help you grow. Entry-level remote jobs are rare, and the short-term convenience can cost you long-term career growth.
- You don’t need to sign a yearlong lease to get started. Stay in an Airbnb for a month or two, learn the city, then make your permanent move.
- Move quickly. Time is the most valuable resource in politics. Election Day will come, and bills will be voted on, with or without you.
- Your first job doesn’t have to be your dream job. We’ll help you find the best fit, but the best opportunities require experience. Get started and build toward them.
