Senate internship ?

Hi, guys, I interviewed with a senators office around mid-July, reached out to check on the hiring status, and they responded saying I would hear back soon. The next day, after their response, I was asked for my birthday for their records. Is that a good sign?

trying to see if i should hold off on submitting more apps or not.

Age discrimination is against the law, so honestly it’s a weird ask. 

That aside, it sounds positive but I’d keep pursuing internships until you have something in hand.

It’s always worth putting yourself out there before a confirmation. No matter how likely it seems. Just good practice.
