JOB: Field Rep for Congresswoman Linda Sanchez

JOB OPPORTUNITY WITH U.S. CONGRESSWOMAN LINDA SÁNCHEZ

I have a full-time job opening in my local office in Cerritos for a
Field Representative/ Caseworker to help me serve the people of the
39th Congressional District of southeast Los Angeles County.
Communities in the 39th District include: Whittier, La Mirada,
Cerritos, Artesia, Hawaiian Gardens, Lakewood, North Long Beach,
Paramount, Lynwood, South Gate, Watts, Willowbrook, and
Florence-Firestone.

This particular position will specialize in outreach and relations
with Asian American residents and organizations. Thus, experience
working with the Asian American community is especially valuable. The
Field Representative portion of the job will also involve managing
issue areas, such as business and immigration, and large-scale public
events, such as my annual Senior Fair. As a Caseworker, this staff
member will assist people in solving problems with government agencies
on issues such as Social Security, Medicare, and veterans benefits,
and immigration and passport applications. This job will be an
excellent opportunity to learn about the operations of a Democratic
legislator's local office and explore many areas of legislative staff
work. Someone who generally shares my progressive Democratic
political principles is also preferred.

Salary will start at approximately $32,000 a year. The employee will
receive health insurance, 401(k), and other federal employment
benefits. Requirements also include the ability to work at events
outside normal business hours and a vehicle and driver's license. If
you wish to apply, please email a resume (with salary history), cover
letter, and writing sample to my District Director, Bill Grady, at
bill.grady@mail. house.gov or fax your materials to Bill at (562)
924-2914.

With best wishes,
Linda T. Sánchez
U.S. Congresswoman
