Field Intern

June - November 2020 • Augusta, ME

What I liked

Great team of smart, inspired, dedicated people. Volunteers who gave so much of their time to our efforts. Learned a lot from my supervisors. The Field team I worked on was almost entirely college-age or just-out-of college-age employees, great sense of camaraderie. I had the opportunity to work one in-person event with the candidate present and was given a lot of responsibility.

What I wish was different

Our operations were focused almost entirely on phonebanking, which was partially due to COVID but also was physically and mentally draining and its effectiveness was dubious.

Advice

Listen to the experienced staffers, you can learn a lot from them.
