Secretary of state offering summer jobs

The office will consider applications for the 120 positions—located in Chicago, the suburbs and the Springfield area— on a first-come, first-served basis.

“This is an excellent opportunity for young people who want to gain valuable work experience, learn new skills and earn some extra money this summer,” said Giannoulias.

“Students working at the secretary of state’s office will take on various tasks, from working at DMVs to assisting individual departments with special projects and events.”

Giannoulias noted the jobs would help students build their resumes and become more familiar with their future career interests. The program will also allow the secretary of state’s office to bolster customer-service efforts during the busy summer months.
