Answer 2

Yes. Here is what they are looking for:

A. Recruitment and Hiring

- Strategic Objective

IIIA.1 Establish a system to recruit and hire critically skilled and diverse individuals to address our intelligence and law enforcement missions.

The FBI has always had great success attracting some of the best candidates available from either the public or private sector. Historically, the FBI hired lawyers, accountants, and former military or law enforcement officers as Special Agents, and hired general clerical employees for its support staff functions. As the mission has become increasingly more complex, the FBI has reevaluated its hiring goals while continuing to recruit the best possible talent. The FBI has identified critical skills required in both the Special Agent and professional support ranks to meet its new challenges. They include skills related to science and information technology, engineering, life sciences, intelligence and counterterrorism, financial analysis, accounting, and investigative technology. Recruiting and hiring people with these skills is challenging because they are in high demand across a broad spectrum of employers. We also need a cadre of highly talented clerical employees to sustain daily operations. Fortunately, it has long been considered an honor to be an employee of the FBI, and in the post-9/11 environment of renewed patriotism, that spirit is manifested in continually larger pools of qualified applicants for most positions. A fundamental requirement for employment is a demonstrated record of excellence achieved in a professional occupation. The FBI may have to make allowances to address critical skill gaps; however, we have found that the best indicator for future success is past performance.

Answer 3

There is a link to someof the administrative jobs at the FBI. A high school degree of equivalency is not required; however, like all jobs nowadays, it is a plus. Post-high school education is also necessary to be considered competitive in this industry.

Answer 4

A college degree - Preferably a masters if you want to go anywhere within the organization.
