Hey Ya'll

I'm about one year away from coming back to DC from serving in the Peace Corps, and my goal is to land a job in a federal agency or on Capitol Hill when I get back.

The first piece of advice everyone has when I say I want to do this is to build up my network, so in the spirit of trying anything and everything, I figured, why not look here? I would love to hear from anyone who has gotten hired to an agency, what the process was like and what you are doing now. I'm also, of course, looking on LinkedIn and everywhere else, but I figured this is one more way.

Also, of course, I'm not just trying to land a job but also soak up any advice, experience, or stories from anyone I can who has done any kind of work close to what I'm talking about. If you're in any kind of government or government adjacent work, and you have 10 mins to chat and connect over Zoom, comment or dm me, and let's talk!

I'd also love to talk to people in my position, looking at the lowest level of federal jobs, or are just considering. We could connect and maybe swap stories!

I'm truly just trying to meet cool people doing cool things and maybe hear your own networking or job experiences while were at it. Heck, even if you aren't in government but are in DC and might like to get a coffee or a beer when I'm back, let me know!

Hey Ya'll

I'm about one year away from coming back to DC from serving in the Peace Corps, and my goal is to land a job on Capitol Hill (entry level) or with an agency when I get back. I'm wondering if any of ya'll are acctively working in DC in Public policy?

I'd also love to talk to people in my position, interns, assistants, caseworkers, and we could swap stories and learn from each other.
