Posted
Staff Report-
FORT WAYNE – Congressman Jim Banks (IN-03) announced Tuesday he is accepting applicants for the spring and summer internship programs in his Fort Wayne office.
“I’ve been fortunate to have the assistance of many outstanding interns this year who helped my staff and I better serve northeast Indiana,” Banks said. “I am excited to continue this program in 2021 and look forward to welcoming new interns to our Fort Wayne office.”
Banks has full- and part-time internship opportunities available. College students or recent college graduates are preferred. These internships are designed to give students an inside view of how a congressional office functions on a day-to-day basis.
These positions will also allow students to work with congressional staff to support daily office functions. Interns will interact with constituents, answer phones and perform administrative work such as filing, emailing, researching federal regulations and legislation and word processing. All work is performed in an office environment and requires interaction with staff members and the public.
While priority is given to residents of Indiana’s Third District, all applicants will be considered. Candidates must be highly motivated, self-starters, detail-oriented and possess excellent communication skills. They also must demonstrate a strong work ethic, positive attitude, the ability to manage multiple tasks on a deadline and a strong desire to learn about the legislative branch.
Students interested in an internship should send a resume, writing sample and cover letter to IN03.Internships@mail.house.gov.
