do you a bit of a 007? For the record James Bond is a spy (OK, except when he played in "The spy who loved me"), it is actually a 00 agent working for the Secret Intelligence Service, MI6 Alias. The difference is James Bond has a license to kill then CIA spies gather information to counter terrorist attacks and fight against other serious crimes.
and just for the record, CIA spies are not generally not themselves attached to a surgical table with a precarious laser beam to their crown jewels. If only the bad guys were smart enough just pull James there and then, rather than leaving it to an ingenious piece of ridiculous bad the technology that takes hours to kill the agent, while providing long monologues about their plans to take over the world, giving him enough time to escape! But of course, there would be no more James Bond films, nor Daniel Craig. * Tears *
Hollywood Put to one side for the moment, however, the world of military intelligence and espionage is serious business- and so is the recruitment process, as one might expect. It seems, however, that despite seemingly intelligent people applied for the role, they are still very non-smart decisions when selecting.
Recently, Ron Patrick, chief hiring CIA spoke to CNNMoney and said they 'had to refuse several candidates because of their messages on social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. Nearly 20,000 people applied for jobs with the CIA; 6 applicants but said they had more than one job after their blabber-mouth on social media sites.
So we'll see how you get on ... You want to be the next agent 14. What would you do in the following scenarios?
Take this test by selecting either "a" "b" or "c"
you have decided that you want a career in the CIA. Do you start your application process:
a) Looking at the CIA website (via Hide My Ass Pro VPN, of course) and the search of the agency and their recruitment policy
b) "Like! CIA on Facebook
c) Learning another language and new skills that increase your chances of acceptance
It is important to have a presence on social media because we know all terrorist organizations like IS use the network to disseminate their propaganda. However, keep in mind, you can work undercover in a hostile environment in the future - you do not want your enemies to see how much you like government agencies and all things spy
- [1945013!] You have been offered an interview by the Agency. Would you: -
- a) Conduct a background check on yourself to make sure that the available records are correct and do not contain any false information
- b) application to friends via social media on how to trick the next polygraph test
- c) squeaky Stay clean - there may be an increased interest in your activities during the process application
A man went all the way through and even got the CIA job, Patrick recalled. Then a background investigator for the agency asked him if he had used social media in the application process. Yes, he admitted. He was nervous about passing the polygraph (lie detector) exam, so he used his network to track specific people who could help "defeat the polygraph," said Patrick.
"As soon as he said, we immediately disqualified person, "he said
- you have just completed your interview with the CIA Would you: -..
- a) Go to the nearest cafe and sit facing the door to see if you are being followed
- b) Tweet "I just interrogated by the CIA and ACED it! "
- c) Maybe tell your partner and members of the immediate family of the interview and hope you have enough to do the job
Yes, according to Ron Patrick, there were candidates who boasted online about how their meeting went.
- You did it! You've been offered the job. Now it that -
- a) Let close friends and family know that you have been selected Perhaps a little celebration might be in order .?
- b) Disappear social media immediately, removing all accounts related to you
- c) Try to normally maintain a routine as possible and wait for your first assignment
think you know that this would be a rather strange look "foreign" if you were a dedicated or dedicated Tweeter Facebookee then fall suddenly the face of the earth? According to Ron Patrick could arouse suspicion between foreign intelligence agencies.
- You have been to the agency for a few weeks now and it is a small get together after work for Bob's birthday. Do you: -
- a) Longer, join the conversation and getting to know better the other agents
- b) mark your colleagues agents and publish photos of the night on Facebook
- c) decline, claiming a prior commitment. the working parts are so dull
If you managed to get a job at the CIA, although you do but do not label your friends, family or coworkers online. If you mark them at a party, well, you could seriously blow their cover or make them targets, not to put people's lives in danger!
"The word discretion is not a bad word here," Patrick said Ron.
selection now if you answered "b" to any or all of the above, you would simply failed for the CIA, or worse, sent off after getting the job! Better stick to the day job.
It is easy to see how Facebook can hurt your job search!
If you have any other social media account where you share images, Facebook or Twitter account, or your thoughts and opinions, they may return when you apply for a job either for the CIA or zero else! The adage "a picture is worth a thousand words" certainly rings true in the case of social media messages.
Think about the image you have yourself surrounded by 50 bottles of vodka, wearing a traffic cone on your head and stroking a more energetic Pug - which can reward you with a plethora of "likes" and "comments" of friends and family, but this could seriously hamper your chances of landing the job you want so desperately. Unless of course you are applying for the position of "drunk cone bearing, coordinator Pug lover.
Employers today not only see your CV, they can and will do a quick search on Google to find out more about you, which will inevitably lead them to your Facebook, Twitter and so right now. These old photos of you in some kind of amazing location contortionist - ( "Hey Look at me - I can drink a milkshake strawberry in this position) or a picture of you holding a beer (as according to a joint study by the University Michigan and the University of Pennsylvania, this may make you less hireable) could come back to haunt you and affect all future jobs you apply for. you see how Facebook can hurt your job search?
oversharing your whole life on Facebook gives your friends and family, and potential future employers, access to your likes, dislikes, your rants and ramblings, and while some of them may seem funny at the time they could represent an unfair view of your personality. Or maybe this is the real you ?!
Getting this job is hard enough, but is it that makes it more difficult for ourselves to seal the deal with future employers by oversharing on social media?
Have you made a horrible gaffe during an interview? We'd love to hear of your job search boo-boos!
