Reasons to Move to DC: public transportation, go-go music* and chili-dogs**

Thinking about moving to the Nation's Capital? A few things to consider:

1) Washington, DC is a wonderful city - full of an eclectic group of people from around the world all pursuing different goals. From politics and lobbying, which seem to go hand-in-hand, to associations, banks and media organizations – employers are wide-ranging and far-reaching! A few suggestions if you are interested in looking for a job/internship:

http://www.dcjobs.com/ - comprehensive list of jobs

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/jjj/ - not only can you find a job/internship on Craig’s List, but also an apartment or a used toaster if you so desire!

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wl/jobs/home - another reliable, comprehensive list of jobs

http://asi.careerhq.org/search.cfm - numerous association headquarters are located in the DC-Metro area from the Association of Pickle Packers (google it – it does exist!) to more well-known associations like the National Education Association. I have/had friends who work for associations – writing for their trade publications, blogging about the DNC and RNC, event planning, etc.

http://www.rcjobs.com/ - Capital Hill jobs – from policy jobs, to the press side of things – your journalism degree can certainly translate well into a job on the Hill

2) DC offers public transportation - http://www.wmata.com/ - which not only cuts down on commuting time and money, but allows you to get anywhere in the city without a car! Go green!

* Go-go is a subgenre of funk that originated in the Washington, D.C., area during the mid- to late-1970s.
