Help Wanted At the FBI
While many companies plan to slash jobs this year, the Federal Bureau of Investigation will be actively searching for thousands of new employees. Kimberly Dozier reports from Washington.
It's the stuff that keeps you on the edge of your seat.TV shows like Numbers show the FBi at work in search of terrorists and murderers and now the real life FBI is in search of several thousand new employees.
"We are especial agents.We are intelligence analysts."
It's the biggest hiring blitz in the Bureau's hundred-year-history.Artly,because of its natural turnover,and partly because it's been hard to compete from employees with the high paying private sector.Until now,the economic bust is proving a boom to the Bureau.Within 24 hours of putting out the call,the FBI wibsit got 600,000 hits and the FBI Human Resources Division got inundated.
"Approximatley 20,000 applications have been submitted.20,000 applications."
"Yes."
The Bureau is looking for 850 spcial agents and 2,100 support staffers.
"So this isn't just about learning how to shoot a gun and hunt people down.""Yeah."
"We're looking for everything."
"Exactly."
"We're looking for analytical professionals,scientific professionals,computer IT professionals,auto mechanic,er,general clerical and administrative professionals,er,there's even a position out there for a woodcrafter.So…"
“Woodcrafter at the FBI.”
"Absolutely."
Case in point,did you know the FBI has an historian?
"You can have a better job.Oh really,you're being asked to do some of the most important stuff that our nation does. "
In recent years,the Bureau's had trouble finding emplyees who major up.That's why there are 150 spots left over from last year.
"Where do people usually fall down? "
"Er,we lose approximateyly 30% on the polygraph（測(cè)謊器）."
If you're interested to be a special agent.You have to be between 23~26,have a college degree,a skill like a foreign language and has a physical fitness test.
