I'm applying for a summer internship with my local congressman. I've done political volunteering before but that application process for that was way more "drop off your resume and talk to the manager for thirty seconds" casual.
Any tips for having a good resume? Any tips for writing a great cover letter?
The position asks for short writing sample. How long should it be and what type of thing would be appropriate to submit? I write for the college newspaper -- would it be inappropriate to send an article I've written?
