My experience includes policy negotiation, drafting memoranda on New York State issues, and researching, drafting, and amending legislation. I also conduct in-depth policy research for proposed legislation, draft support memoranda, and participate in legislative sessions, meetings, and hearings with a variety of interest groups and constituents.
Be your own advocate while being aware of your motivations, and be ready to field challenging questions from a variety of interviewers. Most importantly, make an effort to stay informed on recent legislation and New York State policies.
