Representive Jessie Jackson Jr. from Illinois needs your resume. As of January 7, 2011 he has been accepted resumes from the unemployed and underemployed. These are direct quotes from his website:
"Today, I began an effort to mobilize the unemployed, the under-employed and the economically desperate. I will be collecting resumes of out-of-work Americans in order to submit them for the Congressional Record as a way of putting a face on the jobs crisis we confront. By sending their resumes to me, the unemployed will be permitting me to use their stories as we fight for jobs and enter their curriculum vitae into the Record.
"Of course, sending me a resume will not put anybody first in line for a job. It will not be forwarded to anybody who is hiring. But it will put the jobs issue front and center before the government so that we can remind elected officials that we need to go to work everyday for those who aren't allowed to go to work everyday, but want to," Jackson concluded.
Resumes can be emailed toResumesforAmerica@mail.house.govThis e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it, or sent by mail to:

Thank you for this great article! I did it...and I hope my little part will improve this dire unemployment situation and get us all the jobs we can and want to do -- soon! Also, I will spread the word.
