Title: Trying to enter the HUMINT field
Post by: Sirblood on Sep 07, 2008, 12:32 AM
   I am a new graduate in Political Science, Global Politics and languages and would like to break into the HUMINT intelligence field, is there any way for someone like me to at least gain some sort of position in a HUMINT field without military experience?

I have lived abroad for 6 months and speak, to varying degrees, Arabic, Italian, Spanish, German and French and have an extensive knowledge of the Middle- East and conflicts regions yet I have a very difficult time finding anything that can help me get my foot in the door, even the CIA is very difficult to even talk to.

Is there anywhere that is willing to hire some highspeed intelligent guy to dive into the career field of his dreams?

By the way, I have a top secret security clearance and a secret clearance, I thought they would help me out but I have been searching in vain!

This is an anti-POLYGRAPH website, not a career in intelligence board.

Actually, this forum (Intelligence Agency Applications, Hiring, and Employment) is indeed for non-polygraph related discussion of the intelligence career field.

If you haven't already done so, you might consider applying with the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), which has a human intelligence collection program:

I actually have done that a number of times and every time they tell me I am of interest and will be contacted but it has been nearly 3 years...

Is perhaps the private field the way to go? If so, any suggestions for companies that offer semi-entry level people?
