You'll never work for Barack Obama

Good news! You're all hired!

Sure, we're in an economic crisis, but that doesn't mean nobody's hiring. President-elect Obama is looking for a few good men, and by "good," we mean squeaky-clean, unbesmirched, never-done-a-thing-wrong-ever good. Anyone seeking a high-level post in the new administration has been asked to submit a seven-page questionnaire that includes extensive requests for personal and professional information. For instance:

Please furnish copies of all resumes and biographical, statements issued by you or any other entity at your discretion or with your consent within the past ten years.

And that's just question one of 63. Applicants are asked for financial details, copies of e-mails and online transactions, information about organizations to which they belong, and a hell of a lot more. One section requests immigration information for domestic help, while 11 separate questions dig into an applicant's history of legal proceedings. (Sorry, sexual harassers!)

A PDF of the entire questionnaire is available here. Unfortunately for any potential cabinet members, 23/6 has turned up an additional page of questions that will need to be included in any application. Please click through to get started.

Thank you
