Attention job seekers:

The FBI is looking for just over 2,100 professional staff employees and 850 special agents in one of the largest hiring blitzes in their 100-year history.
Why all the hiring?
According to Assistant Director John Raucci of the FBI's Human Resources Division, it’s to bring more people on board with skills in critical areas, especially language fluency and computer science. “But,” explains Raucci, “we’re also looking for professionals in a wide variety of fields who have a deep desire to help protect our nation from terrorists, spies, and others who wish us harm.”
All 2,100-plus jobs are now posted on the FBI Jobs website. The positions are located throughout the nation in virtually every FBI field office - including the San Francisco Division Office - and at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C.
You must be a U.S. citizen to apply.
Who the FBI is looking for:
According to Raucci, besides those skilled in computers and foreign languages the FBI also needs experts in:
- Finance and accounting;
- Security;
- Intelligence analysis;
- Compliance and quality assurance;
- Training and education;
- Records management;
- Fingerprint examination;
- Information technology;
- Nursing and counseling;
- Physical surveillance;
- Electrical engineering;
- Physical/natural/social sciences;
- Administrative/clerical processes;
- Automotive mechanics; and
- Management/program analysis.

The process:
2) If you see a job you think you’re qualified for, read the “How to Apply” page and then fill out the online application.
Applications will be vetted, and best qualified candidates will be contacted for interviews. The FBI will arrange regional “mega career invitationals” to speed up that process—all selected candidates will gather at designated locations to be interviewed. Those who are ultimately offered a conditional job will be scheduled for their polygraphs, drug screenings, and employment briefings. Candidates who make it past that stage are then ready for the final step—their background investigations.
The FBI's pre-employment background investigations are some of the most thorough on the planet, by necessity, and take some time, but the FBI hopes to have everyone hired and onboard by September 30, 2009. A hiring initiative of this magnitude requires a massive in-house response to quickly process the deluge of applications the FBI expects to receive, so they are reallocating personnel who will be dedicated exclusively to this initiative.
If you aren’t offered the specific job you have applied for but still meet the hiring criteria, your application will be kept on hand for possible consideration at a later time.
Interested in becoming a special agent?
The FBI also continues to recruit and process agent candidates. Since October 1, they have hired nearly 180 agents and plan to hire a total of 850 by the end of the fiscal year.
Like the professional staff applicants, the FBI is looking for agent candidates with foreign language fluency (especially in Middle Eastern and Asian dialects) and computer science backgrounds, and also those with skills in certified public accounting or tactics training. And the FBI also needs agent candidates with expertise in intelligence, law enforcement/military, engineering, law, and science.
