Melania Trump is Now Hiring for the FLOTUS Staff

Melania Trump has yet to announce her White House team. It’s been a week since Donald Trump was inaugurated, and the first lady is still missing a few notable staff positions, including a press secretary, a social secretary, a communications director and a chief of staff, according to CNN.

Although Melania will be staying in New York with her son Barron for the rest of the school year, a spokesperson told CNN that the first lady plans on dividing her time between New York and Washington for “the next few weeks.”

Trump filled the first spot on her team earlier this week, reportedly hiring New York event planner Stephanie Wolkoff as her senior advisor and chief strategist, according to New York Magazine. Wolkoff is an old friend of the first lady’s, according to Marie Claire.  

Unfortunately, soon-to-be college grads probably won’t be able to get any of these jobs. According to Cosmopolitan, Winston Wolkoff is helping the first lady begin the interview processes for the remaining opening positions—and they’re probably going to go with experienced professionals who are already familiar with the first lady. Oh well, it’s something to aspire to someday!
