When Barack Obama moves into the White House on January 20th, the highest qualification that he will bring with him is having been the U.S. Senator representing Illinois, since 2005.
Despite his good oratory and ability to lead, many Americans - including his own followers - believe that Obama is still a "bet".
For many analysts, Obama's lack of experience (a subject that was widely exploited by his rival, John McCain, during the campaign) raises questions about its future ability to govern the country.
One of the biggest criticisms that Obama has, including from his partner and rival of the Democrat party, Hillary Clinton, was that he always voted "present" (ie refrain) - instead of "yes" or "no" - more than a hundred times.
In his defense, Obama and his campaign team argued that their abstentions were not indecision but vow of protest or political strategy - used to negotiate changes in projects where he was not totally against the proposals.
What we can learn from Obama is that even if your resume is short, you can still get an interview and convince employers that you are the ideal candidate for the post.
This is what happened for Obama, when millions of Americans voted for him - and we are already feeling a change in the tides.
