I admire the dedication of the city employees and my fellow Voter Participation Specialists. Everybody is so friendly and hardworking, and the whole experience has been really educational.
What I wish was different
I wish I was able to work more hours. It was a part time position, and when the fall semester started, I could only work 15 hours every week.
Advice
If you haven’t worked for local government before, I would really recommend it. It’s a very unique experience, and if you come in with an open mind, you’ll get the opportunity to do important work and learn new skills.
