My resume is lean enough that I don't have the added baggage that is not necessary to be able to be successful in government.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you first start working, you take whatever job is offered, because you have to build your resume. But you don't think about what you're building.
Experience counts in government even more than in business.
If you haven't had a few dents in your resume, you haven't tried.
The essential job of government is to facilitate, not frustrate, job development.
To be perfectly honest, it isn't fair that people have used my personality, and the sacrifices I make because I want to, as an indication that I want to be in a political office.
If you are really interested in making government work, you should have the experience of working in government.
I had a 20-year, stellar government career.
One day, I looked up and saw I had an extensive resume and saw how I did that and did not realize it because you are constantly working and trying to build a body of work.
Resume: a written exaggeration of only the good things a person has done in the past, as well as a wish list of the qualities a person would like to have.
No one has a resume that they are 100% comfortable with, nor does anyone have a life that they are 100% comfortable with.
