Applicants should expect to work at least Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM.</p> <p>Some exceptions will be made for applicants with class or program requirements, but interns must work 4.5 days a week in order to be considered full-time interns. For example, an intern may leave at 1:00 p.m. or later one day per week, if appropriate. If you require a schedule accommodation of this kind, please make mention of this if/when you are interviewed by a member of the White House Internship Team.</p> <h3> To whom should the letters of recommendation be addressed?</h3> <p>"To Whom It May Concern" or "White House Internship Reviewing Committee."</p> <h3> Is political preference a deciding factor in the application review process?</h3> <p>No. It is essential, however, that applicants are dedicated to the ideals and mission of the White House Internship Program.</p> <h3> How many people apply for the internship program?</h3> <p>The White House Internship Program is highly competitive and we are experiencing great enthusiasm this year. Applicants are encouraged to submit a thorough application that illustrates your qualifications and commitment to public service.</p> <h3> As a White House Intern, where will I work?</h3> <p>For a
