There are so many job titles at the FBI, that with some investigating on your part, you will find jobs that fit the skills you already have. And if you need to, you can apply for a job, and then take some college courses, while you are waiting for an interview. For example, here are some of the types of jobs:
- Analyst
- Computer Technology
- Linguistics
- Business Management
- Police
- Investigative Support
- Clerical
- Dog Handlers
- Pilots
- Researchers
- Chemists
When you apply for a job, look at the skills they are requiring. If it is an analyst position which is centered around an overseas location, knowing the culture of that country, would be a skill that the FBI would find beneficial, and something you could teach yourself before the interview.
If you are applying for a job as a hazard material specialist, having classes in environment training and firefighting is a plus.
If you are applying to be a human resource specialist, you need to know about hiring and employment laws.
A training and development professional needs to know about photoshop, making videos and computers.
Pick the career that you are most interested in and pair it with skills, that you already have, or can get with training classes. Search online for workshops and training classes at a local community college. You can also self-teach yourself by doing research on the internet.
Apply for jobs as you are building your skills. Several months later, when you are called for an interview, you will be ready to show off what you know.
