It seems that empty sloganeering and a basic command of Gooperese is the only job qualification:
Renew our commitment to our Party’s timeless principles…by reconfirming our commitment to be the party of smaller government, lower taxes, individual freedom, strong national security, respect for the sanctity of life, traditional marriage, the importance of family and the exceptionalism of America.

Translation from GOPspeak to English:
Renew our commitment to our Party’s timeless principles…by reconfirming our commitment to be the party of smaller government when it comes to regulating corporations, lower taxes for rich people, individual freedom for gun owning Christians, talking about strong national security, respect for the sanctity of frozen embryo Americans, hating on teh gays, the importance of my second marriage and faith in the idea that the rules do not apply to America.
