I've twice removed a section listing the following professional associations:

Professional Experience Rick Kriseman has had the following professional experience:

Attorney/Owner, Exclusively Accident Attorney, present
Attorney, Englanderand Fischer, Public Attorneys
Attorney, Stolba, Englander and Shames, Public Attorneys

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
