Anyone Work For The Federal Government?

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

Carolina Huddle, just wondering if anyone here works for the Secret Service, Department of Homeland Security/Defense, FBI, CIA...I'll be getting my Master's degree in Homeland Security in a couple years after getting my Bachelor's in Political Science and was just wondering if anyone works for those agencies?

I will be in need of an internship (paid/unpaid) for the next couple summers and was just seeing if I had any possible connections on the Huddle. Thank you!

Happy Easter!

I do know that they just ordered 450million new hollow tip bullets. Homeland security that is.

They know something we don't.

I think we would have known about it a long time ago if anybody worked for any of those agencies! :rolleyes:

I don't know much about it, except that I have heard there is a lot of competition for the available slots. And it probably means spending your summer in DC.

Best of luck to you.

If you think you might ever need security clearance...would think twice about posting here...or anywhere.

You should pry take down all the incriminating pictures of yourself. My friend had to get an FBI background check when he went to work for a defense contractor....so there's that

I believe Nance works for FBI or something (not 100% sure tho). Problem is... after he got that job, he pretty much quit huddle. He lurks from time to time.

Can you set up an internship through your school? That is by far the best path to take. At least then you will have contact with someone "on the inside" who can guide you through the application process. The problem with getting hired by the feds is that you pretty much have to know somebody.

Each agency has its own resume format - usually they won't even look at a resume written any other way. Yet, there is next to no information about how to write resumes for each agency. Even usajobs doesn't always have the correct resume builder, depending on the agency.

If you can't do the internship, work for a private security company for a while and make contacts. You'd be surprised at all the hookups you can find with them.

When I was a kid, I used to pretend I was an FBI/CIA agent undercover. I got pretty good at it.

Does that count?

dont stress over an fbi background check. nothing to them, and half the time they miss the important poo anyways.

for defense contracts, its basically a fingerprint scan.

unless he's getting a clearance, then they'll try to dig some poo up
