One of the biggest things research suggests on this is to get a mentor who can teach you the ways.\n\nThere are also zillions of books on it.

Be competent at what you do.  Do not engage in office politics.  Trying to make yourself look better usually makes you look like a brown-noser.  Just do your job to the best of your ability.

G'day Aimeanna,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nI have tried Real Clear Politics which is one of the best sites but it doesn't have it.  I can't seem to find one overall site that lists them all. The State Department for each state would probably list them on their websites. The Initiative and Referendum site has a site showing which states have initiatives and referenda and historical information but not current. You might have to check websites in each state to find the information you are after.\n\nRegards

Take a Political Science course at your community college\n\nRead some Howard Zinn and Noam Chompsky if you just want to study at home.

There is no one 'best' site, but there are several very informative ones:\n\nGo to http://www.apsanet.org/section_640.cfm and scroll down to 'Selected Topics.'\n\nThe following site will give you a comprehensive background about how U.S. politics and government function: http://www.thisnation.com/\n\nThe Center for Responsive Politics, a non-partisan, nonprofit research group, tracks money in politics and its effect on elections and public policy: http://www.opensecrets.org/\n\nU.S. Politics Online is a public forum where you can discuss politics and political issues with others: http://www.uspoliticsonline.com/forums/welcome.php\n\nWikipedia has a surprisingly impressive page on Politics in the United States, at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_the_United_States, which includes many related links, including one to the grandaddy of them all, at the U.S. Dept. of State: http://usinfo.state.gov/products/pubs/outusgov/homepage.htm\n\nFor the most solid background, however, your best start would be to go to your local library and familiarize yourself with the Congressional Quarterly, which is required reading for many college freshmen.\n\n________________________

Go to the DMV for auto registration, the county tax solicitor for property taxes, any of the local political party headquarters for voter registration (doesn't matter if its your party or not), your employer takes care of your income taxes- you just fill out the little form they give you, and most utilities have a common share agreement, so if you call up the telephone company, they can also get you electric, cable, and whatever else hooked up also.

Check out http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22political+decision+making+process%22&fr=FP-tab-web-t&toggle=1&cop=&ei=UTF-8 for some of the websites that offer information on your essay. Also, try going to the library and looking up books or articles that may offer more information on politics and the political decision making process.

You might want to start with spelling "political" right. That way when people search for "political blogs" yours will come up.

Magazines and newspapers.  TV news programs.  Look for human interest stories, not dull news.  Talk to acquaintances in your social circles.  Garner interesting stories.  Sunday School teachers usually have some goodies about morals and ethics.\n\nI'll turn this around.  Teach Civics using good English.

political science is government, and that is the road to working politics the rest of your life, benefitual yet difficult!

I can't think of a topic since you say you're not interested in politics. Here's a website that might help you though:\nhttp://vos.ucsb.edu/

Volunteer for a political party while you search out the best and most affordable option. Learning on the "job" is the best way to improve your education while building a resume and developing useful contacts for future opportunities.\n\nIf you have true passion and drive for politics when volunteering you may find yourself being offered a paying position before you attend a single class. And that can influence your pool of options. Also there are many leadership training programs related to specific partisian agendas. Embedding yourself within a party will gain you insight into which ones offer the type of intense focus for the least amount of cash. Read everything. Reading is still the best cheap/free education in the world. Good luck!

Ummm... not on Yahoo Answers.\n\nThe plant itself might be a good place to start. A "Human Resource Office" tends to be helpful in matters of employment. Sorry I'm being sarcastic, but take some initiative for God's sake.

First of all, you were hired to do something.  So do it the best that you can.  Be creative and attentive.  Go beyond what is required of you.  Most of all, be good friends to your officemates.  Help around if you have extra time.  When opportunity knocks, your officemates might be the ones to suggest for your promotion.  However if you do not get promoted and you feel you are deserving, then approach your boss and ask for one.  Tell him directly that you have contributed this much to the office and your work is well appreciated by your officemates.  If all fails and you feel you are not getting the right promotion because of office politics, then I suggest you find a better work place were you can grow and develop.
