I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Congressman Adam Schiff (Pasadena, CA) in Jan 2013
Interview
Went to the district office where I sat down with the district manager. She reviewed my resume and asked me various questions about what I expected and wanted to accomplish as my time as an intern. It was a more easy-going conversation than I originally anticipated.

Question 1
What would you do if you disagreed with the Congressman's position?
Very easy, the lady who interviewed me asked me basic questions and allowed me to voice my interests about the job. However, since I was a minor and lived around 30 minutes away she was concerned about how I would be able to get transportation to the job.
