#12 Congressional Internship Program ( CIP )

Hey together,

I got good news 🙂
As you probably know we are 75 participants of the 31st CBYX program who are staying in the USA. This is already an incredible possibility, experience & chance. But now I will tell you something more what will happen to me during my stay in the U.S.. Cultural Vistas, our organization here in the U.S. offers every year for five of the 75 participants an six-weeks internship at the Congress of the United States !! That means we will finish our college semester normally to the mid of December and will start the internship in Washington D.C. at January, 5th. Which goes then to February, 13th.
As you likely can imagine I do not tell you this story without reason! 🙂 I am one of the lucky five who got the honor to been selected. 🙂 Matt goes to Washington D.C. I went through two application steps and got the information on monday finally. 🙂 The first step was to send in a letter of motivation and resume. I guess approximately 40 of us 75 applied for it. As I passed this step the organization told me I am one of 16 candidates who will have a call interview. Last week then I had my call interview with the program director and her assistant. On monday finally I got the information I have been selected. 🙂 I still can not believe it and it is just such an awesome thought to work at the Congress of U.S. in Washington D.C. I am looking forward to it and also to celebrate my birthday in the Capitol of U.S.. The organization will tell me all further important information in the next weeks. They will arrange the transportation to Washington D.C and also the hostfamily with who I will live with. I am very happy and also a little bit proud of myself. 🙂 If I have finished then my internship at the Congress in the mid of February I have to start my work internship immediately. But I do not know where yet. You will get further informations about this topic soon. 🙂
