Studying politics at university made me realise the passion I had for this particular area. I decided the best way for me to continue along with my passion and to further my knowledge and skills in this area would be to work alongside an MP and see how the day to day life of an MP works.
Through family or friends
During my time in Parliament, my duties consisted of time management, creating questions which may be used during debates and also researching different interests the government may wish to look into.
Mornings usually consisted of looking over the previous days media to see what was being reported and what the public consisted of. Any meetings would also be held in the morning. Afternoons were based around which debates were being held in the chamber.
The skills learnt on my course were definitely beneficial, for example shortening down long briefs into quick concise points.
It certainly has, I cannot imagine a career not based in Westminster.
Take any opportunity you can and to not be afraid to ask questions and voice your own opinion.
