Lobbyist
Top lobbyists are often retired politicians, but there are many other career paths for those interesting in lobbying. If you have excellent persuasive and communication skills, a lobbying job provides the opportunity to spend your day (and often evenings and weekends) contacting elected officials to get them to vote favorably on your issue or to oppose legislation that isn’t in your organization’s best interests.
Lobbyists can work independently with clients, for a lobbying or law firm, or for an organization or business that has a vested interest in legislative outcomes.
说客
顶级说客通常是退休的政治家,但对游说感兴趣的人还有许多其他的职业道路。如果你有出色的说服和沟通技巧,游说工作提供了一个机会,你可以利用白天(通常是晚上和周末)联系当选官员,让他们对你的问题投赞成票,或者反对不符合你组织最佳利益的立法。
说客可以独立与客户合作,也可以为游说或律师事务所工作,也可以为对立法结果有既得利益的组织或企业工作。
