    "FBI plans large hiring blitz of agents, experts
    By James Vicini James Vicini – Mon Jan 5, 5:15 pm ET

    AFP/File – A crest of the Federal Bureau of Investigation inside the J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building in Washington, …
    WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Wanted by the FBI: agents, language specialists, computer experts, intelligence analysts and finance experts.

    The FBI said on Monday it had launched one of the largest hiring blitzes in its 100-year history involving 2,100 professional staff vacancies and 850 special agents aimed at filling its most critical vacancies.

    The agency, which seeks to protect the United States from terrorist attack, fight crime and catch spies, among other duties, said it currently has more than 12,800 agents and about 18,400 other employees.

    Since the Sept 11, 2001, attacks, the FBI has been criticized for not having enough employees fluent in foreign languages and for not moving fast enough to upgrade its computer system.

    FBI Assistant Director John Raucci of the Human Resources division said the federal law enforcement agency is seeking to bring more people on board with skills in critical areas, especially language fluency and computer science.
    "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," Raucci said.

    He said the FBI, which has been investigating corporate wrongdoing in connection with the current financial crisis, also needs finance and accounting experts, along with those skilled in physical surveillance and various other employees.

    The hiring initiative for FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., and for its field offices would replace departed staff and add some employees, officials said.

    For 1811 Special Agent positions:

    Minimum Qualifications for the Special Agent Position

    Special Agent applicants must meet the following MINIMUM qualifications to be considered for the position:

    be a United States citizen or a citizen of the Northern Mariana Islands,
    be completely available for assignment anywhere in the FBI's geographic jurisdiction,
    be at least 23 years of age but not yet 37 at the time of hire (due to the length of time it takes to test, process, and hire new agents, it is advisable not to begin testing if an applicant is over 36 ½ years of age),
    possess a valid driver's license,
    be deemed by the FBI's Chief Medical Officer to be physically able to engage in firearms use, raids, defensive tactics, and other essential functions of the job, and
    possess a bachelor's degree from a four-year resident program at a college or university which is certified by one of the six regional accrediting bodies of the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education.

    In addition to the above minimum qualifications, Special Agent candidates must qualify under one or more of the following four entrance programs: Law, Accounting, Language, and Diversified.

    Law: To qualify under the Law Program, you must have a J.D. degree from an accredited resident law school.

    Accounting: To qualify under the Accounting Program, you must have a bachelor's degree with a major in accounting or a related discipline, and be academically eligible to take the CPA examination. Candidates who have not passed the CPA exam will be required to pass the FBI's accounting test.

    Language: To qualify under the Language Program, you must have a bachelor's degree in any discipline plus proficiency in a language that meets the needs of the FBI. Candidates will be required to pass a foreign language proficiency test.

    Diversified: To qualify under the Diversified Program, you must have a bachelor's degree in any discipline accompanied by three years of full-time work experience, or an advanced degree in any discipline accompanied by two years of full-time work experience.

    Special Agent candidates must commit to serving the FBI as a Special Agent for three years.

    Disqualifiers

    There are specific things that will automatically disqualify you from consideration for the Special Agent position. They are:

    1) conviction of a felony,
    2) use of illegal drugs (see the FBI Employment Drug Policy for more details),
    3) default of student loan (insured by the U.S. Government),
    4) failure of a urinalysis drug test, or

    5) failure to register with the Selective Service System.
