There's no doubt that the job market is tough, and if you are looking for a job, you need to make sure you have marketable skills.  It also doesn't hurt if you are David Cicilline's sister.  Today was Roberta Cicilline-DiMezza's first day at work, and she is working as an administrative assistant for the General Assembly.  I'm sure she fully deserves the position and there were no other possible candidates that were more qualified.  After all, we all know how fair hiring for State and municipal jobs can be.  Prior to her job with the State, Roberta Cicilline-DiMezza was also employed by her brother's campaign.
