Send Your Resume and Your Ideas to Bruce Rauner

MakeIllinoisGreat.com needs a few good Illinoisans. And more than a few good ideas, too.

Want to make Illinois great? You might think about asking for a job in Republican Bruce Rauner’s administration. Or sending him some ideas. The governor-elect has created a website, MakeIllinoisGreat.com, seeking ideas and resumes.

Among the questions for resume senders:

  • Have you ever used, or have you ever been known by, any other name?, If yes, provide name(s) and explain.
  • Describe any business relationship, dealing or financial transaction which you have had during the last five years, whether for yourself, on behalf of a client, or acting as an agent which you believe may constitute an appearance of impropriety or could result in a potential conflict of interest in the position to which you want to be appointed.
  • Have you ever been cited for a breach of ethics for unprofessional conduct, or been named in a complaint to any court, administrative agency, regulatory body, professional association, disciplinary committee, or other professional group?
  • 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 the last five years, have you submitted oral or written views to any governmental authority, whether executive or legislative, or to the news media on any particularly controversial issue other than in an official governmental capacity?

The website also has a section for people to make donations of $25 to $2,500 to his transition team, which includes Democrat Bill Daley, a former White House chief of staff and U.S. Secretary of Commerce, and Jim Edgar, a former GOP governor. Lt. Gov.-elect Evelyn Sanguinetti is chairwoman of the transition committee.
