Whether you're just starting your career, or are thinking of switching after putting in your time in another field, there's a way to break into political work for you.

If you're a young college student or recent graduate, you'll want to go the traditional route. It involves seeking internships, applying for entry-level positions, and working your way up. But for an older adult who has established himself or herself in another career, a different approach is required. In order for you to achieve a political position, you'll need to cash in on expertise in your primary field and translate those skills into a consulting or senior staff position.

For the new entrants into the job market, here are some tips that can help you get ahead in the political game:

  1. Know your stuff. This point can't be overemphasized. Understand the nuances of the political process - the two party system, the bicameral nature of Congress, the three branches of government, how a bill becomes law. These details are important. If you're not fully familiar with them, educate yourself before you take the first step.

  2. Volunteer at your local party headquarters. Let people know you're looking for a career in politics; those who engage in party politics on a part-time basis generally love to provide full-time help to the state and national party groups and campaigns - it makes them look good.

  3. Seek political internships. Ask your political science professors for referrals. Check with the local party leaders. Internships can be paid or entirely volunteer positions, and can be associated with political bodies, agencies, or parties. Explore all available options and pick the highest profile group that meshes well with your goals.
