[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think CIA is all that prestigious.

For a lot of agencies, you can get a job there if your parent works there. Is that prestigious? [/quote]

You can get a job there if you meet the qualifications of the job you applied for, do well in the interview, pass the security and medical screening process. Doesn't matter if you're a relative or not, everyone goes through the same process.

Signed,
CIA recruiter

huh, CIA on DCUM, okay…
being referred by a current employee doesn’t boost the applicant?  [/quote]

That "boost" is a second look, a double check. It's not like your relative can just walk in the door from your blood connection.  Hopefully,  whoever referred you provided good answers on the lengthy referral form justifying why and how you would be a fit for the job and the organization. Hiring decisions go through multiple concurrences. There are lots of hoops, unlike the private sector. It does feel prestigious after you make it through all that scrutiny.

huh. okay, that’s interesting.[/quote]
