Yes, you too can go to church or parties and tell people you work for "the government" or the "department of defense."

Everyone knows EXACTLY what that means. But the agency insists on having you say it. I think it's hilarious.

I used to tell people I worked for the government when I was a Library Aide in a public library.

Oldie Locks, when you are done with the electronic application email my sister-in-law so you can get priority.

I found out a little more about the position. They aren't looking for people who speak any particular language. They are looking for people who can learn a language. When you get hired they will assign you to learn a certain (probably obscure) language. What is actually involved in the position is classified. They don't reveal the details until you recieve your security clearance.

According to my sister-in-law, people like working at the NSA.

Also, you have to pass a background check which takes about 8 months. So that is when you can expect to hear back from them. They won't hire people with any sort of addiction or criminal record.



Learning obscure languages is my hobby. Thanks 42. I have a couple of things to work out that will determine whether I apply.
