"Political Advisor" seems like a vague term. I am curious how one becomes a political advisor? Is political advisor a general term and the specific title is something different?
I've studied politics and always wanted to try and get into that field, but most things I see are "I interned and the representative liked me and hired me." Or, I see "I got my PhD and did research at a thinktank and they hired me on." How much policy experience did you need to have for the position before? Or did you learn all that on the job? Etc.
