Boston Globe

Listing a White House gig on your resume used to be considered a sparkling credential, reflecting a stint at the apex of the country’s political power.

But as with so many other things about Donald Trump’s unconventional presidency, former staffers in a White House plagued by constant intrigue and controversy are finding their association with this president a bit more complicated for post-administration prospects.

That’s left current and former staffers — and there are a lot of them — stuck with the advice no job-seeker wants: Adjust your expectations.

I was in prison.
Are you sure you weren't working in The Trump administration?
Nope. Prison, definitely prison.

Saw that here on DU (I think) months ago.
