GALLUP & BALTIMORE SUN & FORBES
— One in four workers lack advancement opportunities. DD: What did you do to advance your career? I earned a bachelor’s degree in management. I earned master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I became a licensed CPA, Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant. Nevertheless, my Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12 and my Democrat GAO superiors never promoted me beyond GS-13. If I had been a Democrat, minority, and/or female, they would have promoted me GS-14, GS-15, and Senior Executive Service.
