First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Wisconsin State Legislature.
Communications Intern
After submitting my resume and cover letter, I heard back about a week and a half later to schedule an interview. The interview was about 30 minutes long. They asked me about my background and why I was interested in the Senator, then had me draft a quick tweet about some legislation.
- Which aspects of the Senator's policies were most appealing to you for this role?
- Could you describe your background?
- What drew you to intern for this particular Senator?
Analyst
It was a very traditional interview process. There was a written test involved. I met with supervisors and potential teammates, which was helpful. However, like in other interviews, when you meet with your potential teammates, they often give the impression that you can ask anything, but I doubt that's really the case.
- Can you describe your strengths and weaknesses?
Legislative Intern
It was a short 30 min in-person interview, asking me questions regards on my political views, and what my stances are. It also included how I would react or solve to difficult problems such as angry complaints from constituents or writing difficult policy briefs.
- What are your primary political issues?
- What makes you a great candidate?
- What qualifications do you have?
Legislative Aide
After submitting my resume and cover letter, I was invited to the office for an in-person interview. Upon arrival, I was greeted warmly and waited only a few minutes before the interview began. The entire interview process took about 25 minutes. I was informed that I would receive a decision regarding the job offer within a week.
- Can you tell me about your understanding of the district that this elected official represents?
