since basically they are looking for us to elect them into the job they want, I would really like to see a resume for the candidates.

you know what would be even better? if when they posted that resume, they had to sign their name saying the information was true under threat of perjury like the rest of us when we apply for jobs.

I want to see a resume and I want copies of their FBI background checks (for those who have them from security clearances). I also want to interview them.
1. Tell me why you think you are the best person to be elected as the leader of 300 million Americans.
2. Tell me your number one promise that you absolutely will not break during your time in office. Taxes? Utilization of the military? Balancing the budget? Not lying to the American people? What?
3. Okay, if you really won't break that promise, sign this. It's a promissory note for 10 million dollars, payable immediately upon breaking the promise you just gave in #2 above. Margaret here is a notary public. Here's a pen.

there is always a lot of information out there on candidates, actually they can't seem to hide much of anything. But political spin doctors will make child molesting seem like little league coaching and the special olympics so its really up to us to figure out who is best. Do we? Hell no. We fall for images created for us to think is all about us. Dems tell us that if you vote for them you must be intelligent and they will line up people to tell you that and Repubs will have Ann Coulter tell you that you are a patriot and a great American cowboy if you vote Repub. That fact is that we are stupid and the media is compromised and does not tell us much that we need to know to make good decisions. And nothing changes much no matter who gets elected.

They do, its called a campaign. You know the 8 or so months before and election in which the candidates tells us about themselves and what they plan to do if elected.

I thought all the political ads and appearances they make are their resume. A resume is just an advertisement, are they not advertising for their position?

That is a good question. I think they should have to submit a resume to the public.

They do. They have extensive biographies and resumes when they're running for office. Check out their websites or call their campaign headquarters, they'll provide them.

Because the majority have held a seat somewhere, being in Congress or the Senate, we usually know the person.
