How tough is it to get a job at the CIA as an Analyst? What type of work experience are they looking for?

Question

Do I have an advantage if I speak fluent Arabic?

Answer 1

Minimum requirements include a bachelor's degree in a variety of fields, such as political science, international studies, national security, history, geography library science, remote sensing, statistics, or a closely related discipline. GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale is also required, along with excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, well-developed interpersonal skills, excellent writing and briefing skills, and an ability to convey complex information in a clear, concise manner. Analysts are expected to be comfortable using computers, because significant portions of their work employ complex databases. Intelligence collection experience is preferred—but not required—and military experience is valued.

All applicants must successfully complete a thorough medical and psychological exam, a polygraph interview, and an extensive background investigation. US citizenship is required.

To be considered suitable for Agency employment, applicants must generally not have used illegal drugs within the last twelve months. The issue of illegal drug use prior to twelve months ago is carefully evaluated during the medical and security processing.

Answer 2

High GPA, the creme de la creme academically, physical fitness helps. Arabic and female a big plus. They recruit openly on most college campuses. There is a rebuilding phase going on right now. Try and aspire follow your dreams and good luck in whatever endeavor you may pursue.

There is quite a diversity within the organization in both support and field operations,

Good luck at "The Farm", Tell General Michael V. Hayden, that HFC vouches for you, feel free to walk right into his office or take him a caramel frappucino from Starbucks, his favorite, to his car. He gets there early so camp out that will show him you are serious.
