Interviewing for gov't position with no previous gov't work
Posted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 11:06 pm
I somehow snagged an interview for a gov't internship in DC, without having any previous government related work experience on my resume. I am really concerned that this issue is going to come up. What's the best way to play it off? I spent college in NY and never had a chance to intern in DC, but what if they ask why I didn't work in the NY state or city government? Part of it was financial constraints, but it seems like that might not be a good enough reason.
