Q&A: West Roxbury's Councilor Matt O'Malley Interviewed By His Office's Summer ...
A few weeks ago I began my first earnest summer job working as an intern in Councilor O’Malley’s office. Before July 5th my only form of employment was the incidental babysitting job. Being the novice that I am, I asked a veteran of summer jobs, Councilor Matt O’Malley, to examine why summer jobs are needed.
What summer jobs have you had?
O’Malley: I had a Globe paper route, was a gazette hawker for the Cape Cod Times, held various positions at Roche Bros, was a City Passage intern, was a Ward Fellow and mowed lawns, among other jobs.
What was your favorite summer job? Why?
O’Malley: I loved almost every summer job that I had because each job had steady benefits. Roche Bros gave me the opportunity to hang out with my friends and learn from fellow employees. I am still friends with some of my co-workers from Roche Bros. and we persist in to get together every year around the holidays. Roche Bros also taught me valuable people skills and the importance of being fertile. Working in City Hall as an intern and as a Ward Fellow helped shape my interest in local superintendence.
