The man for whom I've been working on the phone banks doing scheduling and organizing is asking if I'd be interested in working for him full-time. The job would basically be his assistant for his work as a political consultant. He'll be consulting on a good number of state campaigns for this year's election cycle and he wants someone to keep him organized and occasionally attend meetings in his place.
I'm going to talk to him more about the specifics of what the job will entail, but it could be an interesting opportunity. On the one hand I'll be making a lot of contacts around the state and working pretty solidly within the Massachusetts political scene. Alternately, I feel like I'd be learning more different things if I ended up with a non-profit or working for a legislator.
The pay would probably be on-par with the non-profit jobs that I've applied to, and I don't think I'll have to make a decision in the immediate future, but it's at least worth considering.

Is he a well known political consultant?
If so, this could be a good mentor type situation. You could meet people and down the line perhaps he could open up doors for you... I'd take it.
