For a variety of reasons I would like to work for the CIA, specifically as a NOC (long term deep cover) operations officer and am wondering what an appropriate path would be for me to pursue this.
A bit of background:
- I am not of US citizenship (I'm Western European)
- mid 30's
- first degree in business administration, master's degree in international relations
- lived in Canada, US, 3 western european countries, 1 Asian country, worked in countless other countries
- worked as a management consultant in the past and more recently as an executive in the business world for a large US multinational
- travelled extensively in eastern europe/middle east / asia (largely independent i.e. solo travelling; incl. countries such as Turkmenistan, Libya, Lebanon, Syria, Belarus, etc.)
So my question is: who/how/what/when/etc. for a non-US citizen to become active for the CIA in such a nature?
Note, I have been in contact with the CIA before (was contacted for intelligence that had come my way while travelling abroad which was potentially interesting for the war on terror) and therefore suspect my details are in a database already somewhere.
From my understanding, you have a 0% chance of being an agency employee without a citizenship. You may become an asset and provide information/services to the agency, but never be a case officer yourself. If you are truly interested in intelligence work, pick up some books on operations and read, then apply to your country's service. I'm not sure what EU law is, but you should look at U.K., Germany, and Italy (in that order).
