6. I work in politics
Mon Jun 11, 2012, 04:00 PM

And while I do not have experience in polling and research (I work in field). I got into politics first by volunteering on campaigns and then by attending numerous political trainings (some I had to apply to get into, others I had to pay a nominal fee to attend). My position does require relocating (which I have done three times but the campaign has put me up in supporter housing). In fact, I just relocated last week (9 hours away).

Check out the website www.democraticgain.org because they have a lot of tips for people who work in politics and looking to work in politics.

If you need any advice, feel free to PM me. I'm always willing to help out someone in the field.

ETA various campaigns also have research departments and you could look there as well.
