Wikipedia is not a site for posting resumes, and just because they're listed on the subject's public website, these jobs are in no way notable or worthy of mention here; the format only underscores the resemblance to a posted resume. 99.136.254.88 (talk) 19:55, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. If there can be found secondary sources that discuss these positions and some accomplishments there or effects upon his poitical career, then discuss that citing those sources. Other than that, this amounts to "he's a lawyer, and has had jobs as a lawyer". I'll reiterate that WIkipedia is not a resume host. LadyofShalott 23:56, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
