My boss ordered me my own business cards. The cards have “INTERN” in bold letters under my name. He makes me hand them out to superiors at company events, who give me the weirdest looks I have ever seen. I have given my intern card to almost every member of upper management of the banking firm I’m interning for, including the CEO.

If any of you interns get word about a lobbying event, I highly encourage you to get in. If you walk in like you know what’s up, no one will question you. If someone does, flash your badge and make up a position like “Assistant Chief of Communications for Congressman ______ of ______. Then, act like you are going to meet someone.
It’s awesome. Tons of free food and drinks at these things. Most of the lobbyists think you’re important, so they’ll suck up to you and try to push their own agenda. And, if you crash one of these things successfully, you’re a legend!

I’m a congressional intern in DC. I was late for work one morning, hungover from partying. I walked out to M street from my house in Georgetown to get a cab. Just as I got out to M street, I saw two women about to get into a cab. I hurried over there. Right when they opened the door I said, “I’m sorry ma’am, but I need to be at a hearing in 10 minutes, it’s government business.” And I flashed my red intern badge and jumped in the cab without waiting for a response. Owned.

Haha… I guess that sucks but it’s pretty funny. If you’re funny and confident when you’re giving your cards out, the higher-ups have to find it funny as well.

Yeah man just go with it. Start a chat and start networking with these people, why not? It’s okay to be funny about it.
