Taking Applications — Whitney Westerfield

For the first time since taking office I'm creating an intern position (unpaid, I'm afraid) within my Senate office, open to an interested high school senior or college student.

This position would be part time and include various clerical tasks associated with the office, attendance at public events in the District (or elsewhere in Kentucky), research, writing, photography/videography and (if your schedule/location permits) time in Frankfort for more of the same during the 2015 Regular Session.

Conservative or Republican candidates are required.  You'll be face to face with my political work — and helping me — so if my beliefs and priorities will cause you discomfort, then perhaps this position isn't for you.

Other skills of importance:

  • Computer/Web proficiency
  • Word processing
  • Presentation software proficiency (Keynote, PowerPoint)
  • Camera operation (still/video)
  • Social Media proficiency

Finally, confidentiality is paramount as you'll likely learn of legislation that is not yet (or may never be) made public, or be around political discussions. Discretion is key.  I must be able to trust you. Failure on this point could harm important legislation or my ability to serve my constituents, and will absolutely have an adverse impact on your position with me.

If this sounds like something that interests you or a child/student of yours, please contact me here to schedule an interview.  Personal and/or professional references are welcome.
