Why am I being blocked from Trump administration jobs despite strong referrals?

[Anonymous]

i’m not super well connected, but I do have a couple people well liked by Trump who either work with him currently or have in the past. I’ve also got a pretty substantive résumé for a certain area of job that I’m going for. whenever these people recommend me for positions with the administration they’re getting nothing back feedback wise, and nobody who does hiring is reaching out to me. There seems to be people there who really don’t like me. Despite the fact that I’ve got a couple very respected people who are vouching for me. And the fact that they don’t even want to give me a serious consideration, what the hell? Unless I got to tell Trump this face-to-face, I don’t see a way around this. The people who are the gatekeepers seem to hate me. And they won’t tell anyone why.

The people who vouch for you…. Are you sure they are putting in the good word?
Don’t you think that everyone who currently work for the administration has nieces, nephews, brothers, uncles that all want jobs?
Trump doesn’t do the actual hiring… the people you claim to know, might know Trump but don’t know the people who actually do the hiring.
What special talent would you bring to the White House? A talent that they can’t hire anywhere else?
Personally, I think you are dreaming.

Maybe because you are not a registered Republican!
