Federal Bureau of Investigation Information Session
A Federal
Bureau of Investigations agent visited John Jay College of Criminal Justice on
Wednesday, October 03, 2012 to give students interested in careers within the
FBI information and advice. He gave the
audience key pieces of information to help answer questions about the rigorous
application process with the FBI. He
began by telling students to visit the website www.fbijobs.gov.
He stated that this website would provide crucial information about applying
for full time employment positions as well as the internship program. This website contains all applications for
open positions, lists of criteria for positions and areas to upload your resume
for consideration (www.fbijobs.gov/events).
Below is an overview of the key pieces of
information covered during the session:
The
application process is described below.
It could take anywhere from 7 months to a year to complete the hiring
process:
The
FBI
Volunteer Internship Program was
also discussed during the information session.
The deadline is quickly approaching (October 22) but the agent warned to
not wait until the last day as the offices often end the submission process
early. This program allows you to apply
to any field office of the FBI throughout the country.
A John Jay student who
went through the program stated that it was “the best ten weeks of my
life.” It is an incredible opportunity.
Some last advice from the FBI agent? “Do well
period.” Also, “Once you start working
for us, you are held to a higher standard.”
Keep this in mind as you apply to positions within the FBI, or any
government agencies.
