Applying for special agent position at the FBI?

[-SD-]

Does anyone know what this involves besides a lot of jumping through hoops? If anyone has gotten so far as an interview or knows someone that has tell me what it was like. Thanks

If it's anything like getting into the NSA, I can e-mail you about it.

Do you have a degree? Any military experience? Do you currently have a classified clearance?

The FBI welcomes and encourages applications from persons with physical and mental disabilities and will reasonably accommodate the needs of those persons. The decision on granting reasonable accommodation will be on a case-by-case basis. The FBI is firmly committed to satisfying its affirmative obligations under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, to ensure that persons with disabilities have every opportunity to be hired and advanced on the basis of merit within the FBI.

Interesting...

 

[the nature boy]

they hire people with mental disabilities? Sweet, I can be an undercover janitor.

 

[Frackal]

Seems the executive branch is taking the same approach.

well I think you need first a degree. Then 23 yr old or something. blablabla but now it looks like if you're mentally challenged you can get in anyway........ wow never heard of that anywhere else....

I worked with a guy who had cerebral palsey (sp?) in the NSA.

I never heard of the FBI hiring retards though. Although, the FBI does have to maintain their buildings, take out the trash etc...all of which requires people with at least Secret clearance.

Degree in anything from a four year univ. is required, full background check including credit (!). Guess thats where Im screwed is the credit part, depending on what they are looking for. Ive got nothing majorly bad just dont have good credit.

You cannot be cleared for anything above FOUO if you're debt is twice your annual projected income. Nor if you have current bills in collection totalling a certain amount (in my day it 5K).

They also look into :

Your debt
Your relatives (background search of 7 years of all birth relatives)
Your credit report
Your Grades
Any traffic offenses (i.e. unpaid parking tickets)

Never admit to taking any illegal substances. If you do, it's all over. Also, if they are seriously considering you, they will ask your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors about you.

Then they sit you down in a diner with a stock broker reading the NYT Financial Section on a Sunday morning, an elderly waitress with cankles in high heel shoes and then....

Woo-hoo! I have a college degree, my grades owned, I'm 23, no debt except mortgage, great credit, and my only crime should be off the record (minor who never technically pleaded guilty). Can you only work in towns that have field offices though? Because I love Des Moines so damn much I could never move away. If I smoke herb will they find out? That would suck. The end.

Herb? You seriously want to join a law enforcement agency and be a pot head??? Yes, they will find out. If any friends or family know you do drugs, it will get out during the background check.

If that crime is a felony you cannot join up.

You work where you get assigned. You put in for your top 5 offices and if they have an opening in one of those offices you might get assigned there.

Not really. I'm pretty sure it's the same with the FBI but here the RCMP is mostly looking to know if you're currently a pothead. Otherwise I would have been screwed damn I smoked the entire Central Park between 14 and 19........lol

Even if you get hired there is still a weeding out process.
The SSBI is fairly cut and dry. (Single Scope Background Investigation) (if its not on record keep you mouth shut)
Ironicly I think Microsoft has a more stringent back ground investigation. The FBI dosn't encourage "free thinking" IMO. (I have personal experiances with those JACKASSES)
If your seriously considering a GOV position and you'd prefer a cutting edge oportunity consider DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Project Agency) http://www.darpa.mil/
Or the DIA, CIA and the NSA are always hiring, but remember blood in blod out. You can never truely leave the organization.

Sorry, not to change the subject of FBI but I'll do a lateral movement to another subject that I'm interested in.

Is it true that once you join CIA, you cannot quit? I've heard one horror story about a friend who tried to left CIA. They came after her by talking to credit companies and mark her for bad credit and making it tough on her life.

You need to be dedicated enough to make it a career.

Not true. I have worked with several ex-cia. They have a very nice retirement package as well.

Here at the labs (scandia and Lawrence livermore) many ex-cia people work part-time after retiring from the cia.
