Core Collector Clandestine Service and Professional Trainee Programs Work Schedule: Full Time Salary: $52,976 – $81,204 Location: Washington, DC metropolitan area The National Clandestine Service offers two entry-level programs for field-based Core Collector careers. The Professional Trainee (PT) Program is for applicants who have a minimum of a bachelor's degree but may often lack substantive work experience, and are generally in the 21-25 year age range. Upon entry on duty, PTs are offered the opportunity to gain experience through a series of responsible Headquarters-based assignments that expose them to core aspects of the NCS mission prior to joining the CST program for training and field deployment. The Clandestine Service (CST) Program is for applicants who have a minimum of a bachelor's degree and several years of substantive business/work or military experience before applying, and are generally in the 26-35 year age range. There is a 35 year maximum age requirement. Minimum requirements include a bachelor's or master's degree and a strong academic record, with a preferred GPA of 3.0 or better, and a strong interest in international affairs. Candidates must possess solid interpersonal and communications skills, including the ability to write clearly and accurately. Foreign travel and area knowledge, prior residency abroad, cross-cultural sensitivity, and foreign language proficiency (particularly in the critical languages of Arabic, Chinese, Dari, Indonesian, Korean, Pashto, Persian, Russian, Somali, Turkish, Kurdish and Urdu) are highly desirable. Degrees of interest include, but are not limited to, international business, finance or international relations, economics, physical science or nuclear, biological or chemical engineering. Competitive candidates will also possess personality traits that will allow them to be successful Core Collectors, including the ability to work both independently and as part of a team, the ability to “think on their feet”, and the ability to deal effectively with individuals at all levels—often in fast-breaking and rapidly changing situations. All applicants must successfully complete two personal interviews, a thorough medical and psychological examination, a polygraph interview, and extensive background investigation. 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. (Processing generally takes approximately 12 months.) Easy Breezy Fo Sure!

LOL if you want to work for the CIA be ready to sell your soul.

It is pretty much standard for the CIA to require a college degree for consideration. It will take quite a while to do 10-12 in the Marines and get the degree. Your better chance is to get the degree in something useful, such as languages or electronics, then submit an application, skipping the Marines or doing just one hitch. Serious physical training or athletics in college will also help you greatly. Good luck.

start off working with the fbi. if you do well there then THEY can consider you. joining the recon to get into the cia is like saying, "i wanna lose weight so i'm gonna stop eating candy." yeah it helps but what else are you doing?

ofc it will look good on your resume, but you will need a 4 year degree.

What is to keep the CIA to only use you for filing at Langley?
