Thinking about a new job? You might consider the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), which announced yesterday that it was launching a "hiring blitz" to fill over 2,100 vacancies this year.
The jobs are located throughout its many field offices and headquarters divisions. The vacancies include a wide variety of fields such as administrative/clerical, engineering professionals, general education and training professionals, language specialists, nursing and counseling professionals, and many more. If you are interested, you need to move quickly - most of the open positions are closing January 16th.
“The
FBI is like no other career choice you’ve ever considered,” said
Assistant Director John Raucci, FBI Human Resources Division. “Whatever
your background or expertise, you will find the FBI exceptionally
rewarding. It is challenging, compelling, and important, as the work
you perform has a daily impact on the nation’s security and the
quality-of-life for all U.S. citizens.”
All FBI
positions require a security clearance and all applicants must undergo
a thorough background investigation. The investigation includes a
polygraph examination; drug screening test; credit and records checks;
and extensive interviews with former and current colleagues, neighbors,
friends, professors, etc. So be nice to your friends and neighbors and avoid any communist party rallies or flag burning demonstrations.
The
FBI will also hire 850 new agents this year. Agents come from a
broad range of educational disciplines and professions; however, the
FBI has special needs for candidates with critical skills in foreign languages, computer science/information technology,
engineering, intelligence, law, law enforcement, military, and physical
sciences.
Individuals interested in applying for these positions should review vacancy information available online at www.fbijobs.gov.
