Job Location:
Austin
Job Description:
U.S. Congressman Michael McCaul (TX-10), Chairman, House Committee on
Homeland Security, is accepting applications for internships at his district office in
Austin, TX. This internship allows students an opportunity to gain direct knowledge
of how a congressional office functions, and see the inner workings that are required
to best serve the constituents of the Tenth District. Many congressional interns have
used their experience to further their interests and careers in public service and
government.
In the office, interns’ duties include communicating with constituents on the phone
and in the office, working to resolve their issues or concerns, researching topics and
gathering information for staff members, and assisting staff with administrative tasks
throughout the office. While interns in our district office will not have any direct
involvement with legislation the Congressman is working on, they will learn about
current events and legislation going on in Congress in order to be able to relay that
information to concerned constituents. These are just a few of the activities an intern
can expect to take part in, but there are always new opportunities and projects that arise.
Application Instructions:
If you are interested in applying for an internship, please fill out an Internship
Application (link at the bottom of the page under "Link") and send it along with the following information to the Austin office:
1.) Current resume and cover letter
2.) Current transcript (preferred)
