Management
Michelle Wong is manager of the Java Coffee House at a busy location on Union Street in San Francisco. Wong says that there are several challenges in operating a busy coffeehouse, such as training staff to handle unusual circumstances.

Why are you interested in a Congressional internship and how will it enhance your education and/or help you achieve your career goals?

I know this to be true, because networking has really allowed me to transcend from the small high school and community college that I….
