Is it okay for a college student to be vague about a political campaign paid internship?

[Anonymous]

As in, avoid naming the elected official and the political party on LinkedIn and resume? It was our daughter’s one and only political job and future internships and jobs will have nothing to do with politics. She’d prefer to avoid any partisan screening and whatever else can happen with it on her background.

Just omit it altogether.

Don’t put it down if she’s worried. The only reason you include it is if you’re looking for politically related jobs

There doesn't seem to be a need to include it at all, if she has other work experience OP.

If she interned with the far right candidate, and it's on her resume, she's not even getting an interview in my office

If she interned with the far left candidate, and it's on her resume, she's not even getting an interview in my office.

It was last summer and fall, so it is very recent.

We know you’re not in a position to hire anyone

I think it’s totally fine to put on her resume and leave the candidate and party off.

Omit it. And have her scrub her social media.

And have a conversation with your daughter about not working for people who are going to be a liability to her future career. She might be a lovely and talented young woman, but far-right behavior is not something people are looking for in their workforces.

Leave it off.

Nor far-left.

Far right behavior includes things like complaining about “wokeness” and affirmative action right now. That’s how workplaces lose EEO cases. It’s not about your individual politics but what that is going to mean for your employers liability.

I know a woman who worked for a right wing congressman before a progressive career. It’s still on her LinkedIn, it’s just vague ex. “congressional aide”.
