WASHINGTON (CNN) - Sarah Palin has placed her resume on LinkedIn.
Known as the “Facebook for professionals,” LinkedIn is a social media site that displays more than 50 million people’s resumes and allows for virtual business networking for those interested in keeping in touch or finding a job. Palin’s resume includes her position as “Vice Presidential Candidate” for the 2008 election and goes back to 1992 where she was the Council Member for the Wasilla City Council.
LinkedIn lists years of employment as well; her profile says Palin was the governor of the State of Alaska for two years and seven months.
Palin also notes that she is interested in “Job inquiries, expertise requests, business deals, reference requests, and getting back in touch.”
Her 2008 running mate John McCain joined LinkedIn during the campaign to participate in “LinkedIn Answers,” a part of the site where people can ask questions and get answers from professionals. McCain asked, “What is the biggest challenge America faces?”

Big Deal !!!!
beware of palindrones
Irrelevant.
old news. she is on Linkedin for a long time.
CNN sucks.
She probably modified it to add "quitting" as her new achievement.
biggest challenge faced by America? Getting rid of clowns like Mccain and Palin before they ruin what's left of our nation.
She doesn't have anything to say stupid is stupid does
If it is a site for professionals, how did Palin get accepted when she has shown herself to be anything but in every job she has held?
I thought LinkedIn was for professionals?
It is so refreshing that she is making herself available to all. Obama is only available for staged events where everyone agrees with him.
Dear CNN,
I have heard a rumor that Sarah Palin fell asleep inside a hot air balloon and was carried away to parts unknown.
Since you are the best reporters on the planet, you might wish to get the scoop on this important developing story.
I really do not need to know every move this woman makes. Please give it a rest, cnn. She will turn out to be the biggest media hoax of all. Yet you continue to give her air time.
"Palin also notes that she is interested in “Job inquiries, expertise requests, business deals, reference requests, and getting back in touch.” "
Job inquiries- need a job to quit
Expertise requests- have none, need some
Business deals-Big paycheck from book deal, I want more!
Reference requests-I want to be referred to as President
She's just wanting attention. She's so far "out of touch" there is no coming back.
If Sarah Palin wants to get lots of people interested in her site and get a lot of feedback, all she needs to do is borrow Meghan McCain's tank top.
I'm going to sign my house plants up for LinkedIn. The goldfish are next.
Guess that's what you do when you quit your job with no prospects. There's always monster.com.
No way would I hire her.
Just don't expect to hire her for a long-term position.
Wow Sarah, welcome to 2006! The great part about being on Linked In is seeing how many people you know for a fact to be unemployed who claim they are currently in a position of importance. Kinda like Sarah!
Hahaha Yes. Can't wait till she gives up and just does porn.
She is only interested in a job if it : pays big money, allows her to set her own hours (preferably very part time, like the Alaska legislature), does not require her to tell the truth about or apologize for anything she does wrong, and does not require her to talk to the big bad journalists at ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, or CNN. I guess that leaves FOX. I'm trying to imagine who would hire her for her "expertise." In what? Self-promotion? Domestic terrorist sightings? Motherhood? Witch hunting? Beauty pageants?
Will you PLEASE quit reporting everything that this birdbrain does? She feeds on your attention. She has nothing to offer her constituents; she has nothing to offer the world. Anyone who thinks that she is the answer to anything good is dumber than she is, and that's ging a long way!

What's scarier than having Bush Jr as president? This idiot! Unfortunately, there are a bunch of self-righteous republicans (especially women) who will vote for her because A.) she's republican and B.) she's a pretty woman. It doesn't take much to earn a republican's vote.
Typical – the less people want to see and hear from fools, the more they are there.
Oh well.
Levi Johnston is signing up too- includes his position as “Vice Presidential Candidate future son-in-law"...
I live in Alaska and would not support her for dog catcher at this point.
I could use someone to clean my toilet and do my ironing.....
How about Palin's profile of how to be a quitter, how you too can see Russia from your backyard, how to grow a brain and if you don't blame it on someone else, how to let your childrens' boyfriends live with you, how not to master proper English, how you can get a degree in journalism after 8 years of college, how to cheat tax payers, etc.
Isn't this a bit pathetic? Why is she using a service for college kids
Can lipstick on Linkedln improve its persona?
Who cares?
Why won't some wingnut CEO hire her to get her off Alaska welfare?
Please, please, make this nut case go away.
There goes the LinkedIn neighborhood.....
Sarah Palin is a joke.
Wal-Mart is looking for a seasonal greeter for the holidays...she'd be perfect for the job!
I really think she loves being in the spotlight but cannot stand to be criticized, So in doing so she make boost her popularity.
Hmmm I do think there is an opening at Arby's. Thats typically the place for Community college grads like Sarah Palin.
Two years seven months? ... what is that? ... two or three whelpings?
And business deals? ... like eco-tourism in Alaska? Sage to the masses?
No no wait, I got it ... I can see a vast chain if Sara's School of Grammar spreading like dandelions.
What a plug for LinkedIn though ... huh? ... like an albatross ... LOL
You know, I wish instead of CNN simply reporting that she said this and that nonsense, they would point out whether or not any of it is actually true, or elaborate on it just a little bit. I have seen all kinds of stories on the health care bill, and NONE of them actually report in anything but the most superficial of detail on what the bill will actually do, what the consequences will be, what the benefits will be, etc.
Instead we get a story about this idiot starting a Linkedln account and some crap about what nonsense she said about health care. THANKS.
Yawn....wha...what?......oh.....who cares. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
There is a lot between the lines in that resume!!!!!
I think she is going to take a corperate job.I just cant see this woman sitting around each day,no matter how much cash see is earning.As Govenor she was on the go 24-7.Something tells me she misses being on the go 24-7.My guess in the next few months she will be working in the buisness world,doing political stuff on the side.Its just in her nature to keep busy.I could be wrong but who knows?I just read her latest FB post.Again she is right on target,its a great article to the point.I hear fancy talk everyday off a teleprompter that makes as much sense as all the confusion in DC.This bill that bill,this cost #,that cost #.Secret meetings,amendments,kaos at its best.It is great to go read common sense in her clear words at Facebook.If government listened to her they would all have nothing to do.Gee maybe thats why they dont.
Does her resume include the fact that she's a quiter?
You GO Sarah! Already, more people support YOU than Bozo the Nobleist'
would not hire her
What happened to her agenda to "advocate for issues important" to her?
Professional what? Liar? Expertise request? She may be capable of helping a teen with a local beauty pagent, you know, how to flub around a real answer, or how to get an organization to buy you and your family a boatload of new designer clothes. You betcha! wink, wink, wink. PUKE.
This is funny. This lady had a job, quit it and now she is back in the job market looking. I thought the process was to look for a job, find a job and then quit the other job. Oh well who knows how the space between her ears is wired.
Expertise requests?
Perhaps she can get a job at McDonald's, but on second thought she might get distracted and walk away from the fry machine.
S. Palin on linked in is news?!!?
Why? Because a republican has used technology for something other than waging war?
S,
You've just inspired me to Join our presidents linked In account.
This is going to help her image a whole lot
I wonder if her 'resume' indicates that she has quit every job she has ever had.
Looking forward to the posts by the person ghostwriting the former governor's blog. I also noticed that propensity for vapid comments was not on her resume nor is the destruction of the credibility of the republican party. Someone needs an update!!!
Looking forward to laughing at the recommendations. Gonna be funnier than the Sunday Comics!
Shouldn't the Governor title come before the VP Presidential nominee? I mean, wasn't Sarah GOVERNOR while she was a VP candidate? HELLO Sarah?
Just another journalism slip I suppose.
She has painted those who criticize her as being unintelligent into a box. All they will every be able to do is say she is supid. Their argument was easily debunked by her own OP-Ed pieces, along with every Facebook posting she makes. Her latest Facebook posting on Health Care is indepth and shows common sense. Its time to admit she did not go from hockey mom to VP candidate by luck, or good looks. She went after each postition like the pitbull she is.
Anything for a headline Sarah.
i know many people who are far more intelligent and competent than sarah palin who are also on linkedin, and yet cnn doesn't do a blurb on them.
yet more proof that cnn is feeding into the palin-hype. if cnn and other media outlets would just STOP this, then she'd disappear a whole lot quicker, because sarah palin is just not a person of substance.
I wouldn’t let that woman walk my DOG......
Idiot
Do you know, I have a funny feeling that she just might be able to pull 2012 off, through sheer cunning.
All that is left for CNN to report on Palin is tht she broke wind. CNN is the leading news organization in Palin obsession.
This is certainly different.
Sarah Palin already had a LinkedIn account when she was contesting. Funnily, John McCain had made a recommendation way back in 2008. Looks funny there.
give me a break, who cares
Go away Sarah! We are definitely tired of you.
Pam in Oregon
"...her profile says Palin was the governor of the State of Alaska for two years and seven months."
Next line should read "Reason for Leaving Position": "Quit job to persue the almighty dollar by getting unneeded publicity for doing nothing and opening mouth and inserting foot to level of knee".
Don't worry Sarah, thinks will turn around! Keep your chin up, there's always Dancing With The Stars!
Why anyone would concern themselves with anything Palin has to say or (on the rare occasion think) is beyond me but it seems those people are out there. Well keep up the good work....it keeps the rest of us educated people laughing....
Oh good grief. When will she go away for good? Please help all Americans and find a job at 7/11 or Walmart.
That's nice. Still ain't gonna get you elected though.
i wonder if she stated quit her last job?
here's hoping the words ignorant, imbecile and troublemaker appear therein. just goes to show you you'll never lose money underestimating the ignorance of a portion of the american people....it is so baffling.
Why didn't she post her Resume on twitter? I mean it is 140 characters or less
You got to be kidding! Why?
Who in the world,with their right mind, with a legitimate business, would hire a professional liar such as Palin? This woman doesn't know truth from fiction.
MUST be a slow news day...who cares what she has posted...
It is funny...EVERYONE wants Palin to disappear, to fade into obscurity. BUT, the media is the first one to dredge up something like this to keep her current. Only thing worse than this would be seeing a Michael Jackson story right after this...
Enough already!
Who cares...
OMG!! Who gives a rip???
Gees, CNN–give it a break w/Palin would you? No wonder why you guys are dead last in ratings!!!
Her resume is one word "quitter"
Where do I look?..........................under bimbo???????
And your reason for posting this is?
she needs to join a group on the way to the nut house
Does it mention that she will only work for 18 months at which time she will abruptly quit.
What is it going to take to get this woman to go away? With the chance improving each day that the Republicans can gain majority in Congress and possibly the White House, they need to encourage Palin to keep quiet and stay in Alaska.
Very light on credentials compared to what you would normally see on LinkedIn.
Don't anybody hire her!
She'll quit on you after 2 years or so...
Again she has no clue what is what. Linkedln is where professionals go. I think McDonalds is hiring-somewhere.
See boys and girls...today's lesson. Never quit your job until you know for sure you have one already lined up.
I believed she joined this a long time ago, but never updated it.
Is there such a job called "quitter"?
Sarah Palin needs a resume site. She shoulc call it
For Hire: AMERICAN'S BIGGEST LOSER!!!!!!
When will people see just stupid, uneducated, uncouth this woman really is. She is obcessed wiith President because she is racist and bitter because she lost. This country would be in trouble if she eveer gets any national office. Republicans want her because they know she doesn"t know anything and would be thier puppet. She is too snippy, arrogant, and not fit to serve the people, all of the people. African Americans alreadu saw racist she was in the last election although we hope she is the nominee/.
Who cares?
"Expertise Requests"? Hahahahahahahahahahaha! That's good.
Don't know what is worse. The balloon stunt late last week with the parents trying to fool america thinking their child may be onboard, or Sarah Palin trying stunt after stunt to get america to love her. Sad to see this
Getting back in touch? This woman is so far out of touch, I don't know if she was ever in touch.
Who cares? Why is White House dictating what can and cannot be said about them?
FREE SPEECH RAHM AND OBAMA. WAKE UP and stop turning American into a dictatorial socialized country.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH BABY!!!! If you don't like what's being said than provide factual evidence of your own. Don't just point the finger because then three fingers are pointing back at you!
that this isn't really news. CNN is slipping.
I just found out she joined this networking site many months ago.Why the delay in reporting it cnn?How about posting her facebook HC notes from yesterday instead.Now theres a story,gee I guess you do not like those posts that are criticle of HC plans.As well as the lack of transparency this administration some how forgot they mentioned last fall during the elections.You know c-span at meetings,posting bills 5 days online before singing them.
Does she list that she has quit EVERY job she has held?
And, exactly, what is in the resume that qualifies Sara Palin to be the President of the United States?????? Answer: NADA!! NOTHING!!
She never qualified being a Governor!! And I could bet there are MANY citizens of Alaska, as well as other officials in Alaska, who wish they would have never heard of Sara Palin!!! This woman doesn't even have any expertise/experience in Political Science!!!
Who cares. People are clinging to their jobs for dear life these days and this spoiled former beauty Queen gave hers up she's so comfy. Must be nice.
I bet it reads something like:
I got knocked up before I was married
I quit my job as a teacher
I quit my job as a govenor
I quit because I'm a quiter
We have Paris Hilton to thank for people like Palin. She showed us that all it takes is being "hot" and you're in. One look at her weak resume and the thought of her advancing in politics any further is simply terrifying.
Where's the part about QUITTTING?
Sarah Palin has good common sense and understands that the private free market business sector holds the key to our countries future. She will also tell you that our government is full of completely incompetent people and should be privatized out of existence. Government is the problem she will tell you, the private sector is the answer to our problems. This is why she resigned as governor and the rest of the Republican party is set to resign in the near future, they know that government is the problem!
I guess it really is a jobless recovery if she's got her resume out there.
Could this women even be able to handle a Assistant Manager Job at McDonalds? I THINK NOT!!!
READ THE AP REPORT.
Appears that the OBAMA WHITEHOUSE screwed up on what they thought RUSSIA would do. Yep the naive idiots thought that Russia was going to put pressure on Iran. What a joke.
Barack you are an arrogant naive boy when it comes to International politics. Grow up fast kid.
AP Quote:White House Misread Russia on Iran
The Obama administration believed Russia was going to back sanctions against Iran, but may have spoken too soon.
Great how the White House cant build any new jobs, cant fix the economy, and cant solve unemployment.
But they spend every Sunday talking more about bankrupting the country with health care.
Barack you have a 1.4 Trillion dollar debt for this year.
Your estimate for next year is 1 Trillion more.
Your estimate for the next three years is 1 trillion a year.
Wow. Welcome to Venezuela fans of the great barack.
The biggest challenge America faces is ignoring Sarah Palin til she goes away.
The title should just read....
"Here's a posting space so those who hate Sarah Palin for no real reason can start writing terrible hateful things about her here".
There's obviously NO REASON for this to be news. This is the daily post so CNN can manipulate their viewers.
I think Sarah Palin is an accomplished woman who was not given her career on a silver platter, like the Kennedy's get. She's earned a lot of respect each step of the way.
Obviously, liberals hate happy attractive intelligent conservative women. They are a threat to their way of life and stop at nothing to tear them down.
Rise above the CNN agenda!
You've got to be kidding.
Is this a joke? Oh well I quit!!!!!!!
Again, this is not news. CNN wants to give viewers a chance for you write hateful things about Sarah Palin.
How much is Palin paying CNN to keep her rubbish afloat. Every night it's something about Palin... does anyone else see this as weird?
CNN, just like the balloon boy story you are focusing on mediocrity.
Why would anyone hire her... She QUIT her first job as Governor – what makes you think she won't do it again!!!
As bad as this economy is, people should be hired who really WANT and DESERVE the job and will not QUIT!!!
What? No beauty pageant results?
NOW would you mind telling me what business is this of yours or anyones elses. This is getting ridiculous and I for one am sick of how the media and OBAMA IDIOTS hound this woman. Get a life.
3 out of 5 people who post their online resumes have better job qualifications than Palin.
This is old news however Sarah Palin will add President of The United States in resume by 2013!!! She would make a far better President than the empty suit that's currently in the WH.
Wow....hahahahahaha.. does it list all 5 colleges and how she quit them?
She'd make a great hostess at Olive Garden
We'll have to leave it right there.
Does the beauty pageant count for anything?
will you pleae stop with this Palin drivel .
a Bachelor's degree in communications – journalism??? yet she speaks in garbled sentences and can't handle the media. hahahaha
will you pleae stop with this Palin drivel . And its not just me
Go Sarah!!! I hope she runs and wins in 2012. We need a real leader in the White House, not a community organizer. There is a big difference between the two.
She is dumber than dumb...
She still is more qualified than uhbumble.
Some people think she is beautiful...I think she is a HAG...
I'll give her a job.......and she WILL like it!
I hope she mentions that under her administration as mayor of Wasilla the rape victims had to pay for their own exam kits to the tune up to $1,000. Also did she mention she quit her last job?
Why would anyone want to hire a looser who may quit when the going gets tough?
You Go Sarah.
She's no longer an elected official and is a distant 3rd in GOP polling. I think the world should put her on the backburner now.
Can she carry coffee?
may have to sign up – i'd be interested in seeing what she put for education... (no offense idaho state?) she is laughable – strongly suspect she did not score higher than 1000 on her SAT.... thankfully she's no where near a leadership position.
Additional ability not posted on resume: Until informed prior to the question being asked, has the ability to stick foot in mouth on a moments notice.
what a MORON
Outstanding resume! She's probably qualified to clean houses,
maybe even worth $7.50 an hour!
This woman is more retarded than her youngest son. She is anti-intellectual (doesn't like people who know more than she does) so she is incapable of learning any new job skills.
Besides, who cares what she does? The voters chose not to hire her and McCain to run the country, can't she get the message?
Please someone hire her to a position that she loves so that we don't have to worry about her running for office and embarrasing America anymore. Since Thanksgiving is coming soon, maybe she could get a job as a turkey butcher and plucker.
Who really cares? What happened to real news networks?
eww i didn't need to know this. now i know that one of my contact's contact connects me to her. must purge list.
btw this is not news. quit being sarah palin's personal twitter/facebook, cnn.
i know there there are important things happening in the world that are more worthy of your time.
"Facebook for professionals" – since when did these WICKED politicians become professionals????
I learn prostitution could be professional but Sarah years on the strip and the Lap dances don't count towards those – do they???
"Ruined hopes for Republican presidential running mate;
Quit job in public service amid allegations of corruption, embezzlement and dereliction of duty; helped the lunatic fringe to take control of the Republican Party and steer it over a cliff"
Better hope the book is a best-seller.
Maybe she could get a job in a Dolt factory?
Did Ms Palin put on her resume that she not only quit as governor, but that she quit five colleges (research) and the position of VP she lost and was partly responsible for McCain losing. Be truthful on resumes; sooner or later the truth will pervail. People are not afraid of her they are afraid that the unqualified could try for a run, but until then she is constantly in the news. I thought she did not like the media. But she hides behind facebook, her pacs and now Linkedln.
A fair number of comments about Mrs. Palin appear to me to be comming from women hating democratic socialists.
Boy, you folks really need to grow up. I wouldn't vote for her (and I am a woman and registered as a republican) but who cares? Our country is headed down the sewer and CNN wants to report this crap?
I think I have heard enough of this
All together now, it is just Sara Palin, there is nothing for us to fear, nothing to fear, nothing to fear, ...fear........fear........................

Wonder how many days it took her to figure out the website? Or...did her ghostwriter setup the LinkedIn account, just like they wrote her 'book'?
This woman does nothing for herself......does not see any task through to the end......or anything from the start.......she joins things in the middle and quits before the end.....a TRUE bozette!
Palin puts herself off as 'a woman of the people available to all...but remember to have the charity dinner with her, you had to pass a Background Check'....so this is all the spin of her publicist...this woman is NOT accessible, is not friendly, is not a person of the people...she is a political hack seeking advancement only for herself...don't be naive.
Who cares? What kind of jobs is she looking for? She does not like to work for Alaskan people as Governor, then what kind of jobs is she trying to work have job then quit again? forget it.
I wonder if the Resume included – "Many hours of keeping an eye on Russia from my porch".
I find it interesting that people find a way to turn this article into an excuse to slam President Obama (you know, the guy who handily beat McCain and this twit). I also find it amusing that most of them spell "Nobel" incorrectly when criticizing the President. It's not Noble, morons.
Do I really care that Palin on a social networking site for professionals? Unfortunately, her backgrounds needs lots to be desired so not hiring her at any time soon...
NOTE TO CNN: Stop reporting on her because she has not been able to articulate without referring to someone's quote to make her point..
Really? This is what CNN considers news? Didn't the whitehouse just accuse FOX of not being a news network? This is sad. I'm no palin fan but anyone who isn't a brainwashed by the left or the right can see CNN"s obsession with her. It's sad really. She wasn't cut out for national politics but she was good at the local level. Meanwhile...Biden is 10 times more of an idiot than she is and I don't see CNN hammering him?
CNN is obsessed with Sarah Palin. I guess it's ok. A little excessive but ok.
I will alert McDonalds.
Continuing to prove that not only is she inexperienced, she is also an incompetent moron!
If the libs and moderates weren't so scared of her they wouldn't always be saying such bad things!!! They know a strong Real American woman who believes in her ideology is exactly who is going to be our next POTUS!!!
She had a great job and walked away from it mid-term!
CNN, can a day please go by without you reporting that Sarah Palin went to the bathroom? Please?!?
Breaking News! Sarah Palin has Fox News as homepage! More at 11!
I wouldn't hire a QUITTER.
We have Paris Hilton to thank for people like Palin. She showed us that all it takes is being "hot" and you're in. One look at her weak resume and the thought of her advancing in politics any further is simply terrifying.
Anyone can create an account on LinkedIn, and claim that they are Mickey Mouse, Jim Morrison, or Jesus Christ, without having to actually prove their identity. Before I'd ever post an article like this I'd at least ensure that the person behind the LinkedIn account is truly who they say they are. When Barack was campaigning for president, a coworker of mine got "linkedin" to Barack. I read that someone on his staff created the account and monitored it for him.
This quitter and cheat had better call on Fox......you know....where you need no training or expereince ....just a BIG mOUTH and can rant and rave about right wing lunacy........or maybe Wildlife magazine needs some features on Mooose poaching....er....I mean hunting.
Of course "circus clown" fits her as well!!!!
