As part of the process to land a job in Donald Trump's second administration, hopeful applicants are being asked to provide standard résumés and also include documentation on efforts they made to support him in the past.

According to a report from Politico, the President-elect has had a large pool of candidates to choose from as he started doling out prestigious positions in his next administration with many of them having been runner-ups to incoming Vice President J.D. Vance.

As Joe Borelli, the New York City Council minority leader who advised Trump after his 2016 win, put it, “He didn’t have a moob like Chris Christie running the transition team without actually thinking about who would fill some of the important spots. This go-around Team Trump knew they were in the catbird position and had a clear depth chart of folks for consideration.

As part of that process, job seekers are required to, file not just a resume and cover letter but a document indicating everything they have done to support Trump — whether that be through positive media interviews, fundraising or volunteering."

The report adds that those who were also-runs to Vance should count themsleves lucky with Politico's Jeff Coltin and Kimberly Leonard writing, "Vance was relentlessly pilloried on the campaign trail. And Trump has turned against a vice president before — reportedly expressing support for the Jan. 6 rioters chanting 'Hang Mike Pence.'"
