Looking for a job? Gov.-elect Rauner wants to talk with you

Gov.-elect Bruce Rauner has hung out a “help wanted” sign with a website to solicit resumes from people who want a job in state government once he takes office.

The site has a list of 20 categories of “interest” on the job application page, among them legislative, environmental, state police and infrastructure.

Other application questions include “Is there anything in your personal or professional life that would cause controversy for you or the governor during a public review of your candidacy or your service as a gubernatorial appointee?”

In a “voluntary information” section, the site explains that Rauner wants “a diverse pool of candidates,” and asks applicants whether they are U.S. citizens, whether they are disabled, and to provide their ethnic group and country of birth.

The website also includes a section for people to contribute to Rauner’s transition committee, with suggested donations of between $25 and $5,000.

Rauner and Lt. Gov.-elect Evelyn Sanguinetti will take office in January. Sanguinetti is heading Rauner’s transition committee.
