Strategic Steps in Getting
an Appointment
Decide what job you want! Sound obvious? It
does, but many qualified people want to serve but don't know where.
Pick one or more job areas where you fit - see
Appointments.
1. Prepare an excellent,
comprehensive resume'.
A vita in this situation
is a form of legal document - if you are nominated or appointed - it is
the basis of the investigations or "vetting" of your background.
More important - it will show your qualifications for the job you want.
Don't leave any gaps in your life timeline - fill in all the gaps (with
the truth!)
If you need help, there are templates all over the internet, or hire a
local "resume' builder" or advisor.
Make lots of copies and give them to everybody you talk to about your
appointment potential.
2. Submit
application to White House
address on appointments.
3. Send vita copy and brief
letter to any Governor, Senator, Representative, Member of Democratic
National Committee, State Chairman Democratic Chairman, or other
politician to endorse your application.
4. Send vita other friends,
associations, contacts, with brief letter asking for their endorsement
for the job.
5. Call the White House and
work your way through the phone system to try to find a live person in
appointments area to send application to that person's desk, and try to
get contact number and any advice you can about who to contact.
6. Study the internet
carefully to be sure you know everything possible about the job, policy,
and President's policy on the job you want to have.
7. Renew your inquires to
political contacts often - talk to assistants and office staff -
persistence counts!
8. Be willing to take
a position different than you originally sought if the Administration
offers it.
