I have agreed to screen resumes for my friend Minita whose district encompasses the assembly district where I am managing a campaign. I can't vouch for what she is like as an employer, but she seems like a very competent candidate. I will say that I wish I knew she was going to need a campaign manager before I committed myself to the assembly race.
