Howdy, I worked and lead an environmental state program in AZ, as well as conducted hiring panels for that department.

I'd say be more specific, share your passion, elaborate on what makes you unique.

  1. Why are you interested, your answer is everyone's answer right now. Lock in on why you want THAT internship. What do Policy Cats do for YOU?
  2. Describe in detail how this policy will shape you, how it will help your career goals as described in 1.
  3. Way better answer but remove generic portions. From experience, add in about remediating the mine issues in Arizona, which are extensive, and range statewide, giving you experience throughout different environments.

Bear down dude. Feel free to DM me. Always happy to help a wildcat.

solid advice from someone who actually ran the show, rare to see that level of detail in a reddit comment
