pandabear	Look at the contractor companies in the area and apply. If you know someone that has a job there - that would be a plus. As for what jobs to look for, only you can answer that. You may not get your dream job to start with, but you can always work your way up. Most companies do prefer to hire someone that already has a clearance, but they will hire an uncleared person. The investigation cost a lot of money and depending on the level, it can take months to complete. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

George P	If you want to be in intel, you need to qualify for a TS clearance. If you can't get one, then you won't ever get an itel job. The problem is, no company will hire you, pay the money to get you the clearance, and not want something in return. You would pretty much be in the company for a while for them to pay that kind of money for the background check. Actually, do you hold any type of clearance? If not, you won't have a chance. You are better off going into the military for a few years and at least get a secret clearance. Then, you might get lucky for them to get you a TS. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ctown	There are ways to infiltrate the American intelligence agencies, and USAJOBS is not one of them. Military experience is a plus, but it doesn't necessarily mean thats where you will be assigned. Your degree will help, but probably not that much. Learn 2 or more lanuages, and make sure during this time you do not leave the country and can provide clear evidence of where you have lived and worked for your entire life with no unexplainable gaps. And don't expect it to happen. Intelligence jobs are hard to get. Your best shot is applying at www.cia.gov. They will ask you what position you want to apply for. Some positions are harder to fill than others. Be careful what you choose. And if you're lucky, they will call you. And maybe after your fourth tour with the CIA, you may be able to move to another position. You must realize that your expectations are unrealistic. Just get your foot in the door first. And to add, it matters very little what your degree is in. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Phil	Join the military. That is the best way to get into that field. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Diogene's Dog	He said apparatus. I had 15 years in the business and never once said apparatus. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

thims	Well it is interesting that you would say you want to join the Military Intelligence rather than the Civilian. Why? And why wouldn't you join the Military and go into Intelligence? Why look for Civilian jobs at that particular base? My Spider senses are tingling... hmmm Not your average question for someone seeking a job in the Intelligence community. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Bo T	You don't have a chance. You're better off trying to get a job with a high tech company willing to pay for your Security Clearance Certification and background check. Then you apply for CENTCOM or SOCOM. or try joining the military first. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Stuart	Breaking into the field as a civilian isn't easy. You would do well to look at administrative or support positions that can lead to the real intel work. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

digitalchinky	To get in to the intelligence field, what you need most of all is the right personality - I worked the intelligence fields for well over a decade, to this day I have no idea what aspects of my psychology were the 'right' ones. Perhaps an equal second is a degree, it doesn't matter what field you major in, just having a degree shows that you are able to focus and work on problems either independently or as a team. Perhaps a large percentage of workers at NSA had no prior experience in any intelligence field either, they came in off the street - all 30,000 of them. What is important is that you pass positive vetting. These are background checks - they go out and ask your friends about you - ask their friends about you - your teachers, bosses, friends, family, the list is long. If the overall picture is of the same person, then you get a security clearance. In my case I pretty much fell in to the position. I came in via the Navy - I applied to become an air traffic controller, all the jobs listed had a page or two devoted to a detailed explanation of what the job entailed, but there was one that stood out to me - all it said was 'high level security clearance is required for this job' I ran with it. The psych asked why I wanted it, I told him straight up - I want to find out if UFO's exist, and smiled. I also said 'military secrets' who wouldn't want to work there!!! I got the job. After a decade or so I left the military to work in defence as a civilian. By that time it was who I knew, not what I knew. Don't give up, just be yourself and try. Watch the papers closely for when these agencies advertise positions. Apply. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
