Help Wanted At the FBI

While many companies plan to slash¹ jobs this year, the Federal Bureau of Investigation² will be actively³ searching for thousands of new employees. Kimberly Dozier⁴ reports from Washington.

It's the stuff that keeps you on the edge of your seat.TV shows like Numbers show the FBi at work in search of terrorists and murderers and now the real life FBI is in search of several thousand new employees.

"We are especial agents.We are intelligence analysts⁵."

It's the biggest hiring blitz in the Bureau's hundred-year-history.Artly,because of its natural turnover,and partly because it's been hard to compete from employees with the high paying private sector⁶.Until now,the economic bust⁷ is proving a boom to the Bureau.Within 24 hours of putting out the call,the FBI wibsit got 600,000 hits and the FBI Human Resources Division got inundated⁸.

"Approximatley 20,000 applications have been submitted.20,000 applications."

"Yes."

The Bureau is looking for 850 spcial agents and 2,100 support staffers.

"So this isn't just about learning how to shoot a gun and hunt people down.""Yeah."

"We're looking for everything."

"Exactly."

"We're looking for analytical⁹ professionals,scientific professionals,computer IT professionals,auto mechanic,er,general clerical and administrative¹⁰ professionals,er,there's even a position out there for a woodcrafter.So…"

“Woodcrafter at the FBI.”

"Absolutely."

Case in point,did you know the FBI has an historian?

"You can have a better job.Oh really,you're being asked to do some of the most important stuff that our nation does. "

In recent years,the Bureau's had trouble finding emplyees who major up.That's why there are 150 spots left over from last year.

"Where do people usually fall down? "

"Er,we lose approximateyly 30% on the polygraph（测谎器）."

If you're interested to be a special agent.You have to be between 23~26,have a college degree,a skill like a foreign language and has a physical fitness test.

"For any of the job,you have to be an US citizen.You got 8-step polygraph and you have to act quickly.The deadline to apply is next week.Kimberly Dozier, CBS NEWS,,Washinton."

 

今年许多公司计划大幅裁员，而FBI联邦调查局却准备招聘数千名新雇员。Kimberly Dozier从华盛顿报道。

你被故事情节深深地吸引着一动不动地坐在座位上。像Numbers这样的电视节目里展示着FBI特工积极寻找恐怖分子和谋杀犯的情景。而在现实生活中，FBI正在寻找数千名新雇员。

“我们是特工人员，我们是情报分析家。”

这是联邦调查局百年历史上场面最为壮观的一次招聘。部分原因是由于本身的工作性质，部分由于跟高工资的私人侦探部门的竞争非常激烈。目前为止，经济萧条似乎对使联邦调查局繁荣起来。在招聘通知发出之后24小时之内，FBI网站点击量超过600，000，FBI人力资源部门泛滥。

“我们大约收到了20，000份申请。”

“20，000份申请？”

“是的。”

联邦调查局正在寻找850名特工和2，100名参谋。

“那么，不仅仅是学会怎样射击和将别人制服。”“是的。”

“我们在寻找各方面的专家。”

“准确地说是哪些呢？”

“我们寻找分析方面的专家，科学专家，电脑IT专家，机械自动化专家，书记员和管理专家，甚至还有一个木工的职位。所以……”

“FBI的木工。”

“完全正确。”

还有一点，你知道FBI有历史学家吗？

“你可以做一份更好的工作。确实是，你被要求做一些对我们的国家来说非常重要的事情。”

近年来，FBI在寻找专业过硬的人才方面困难重重。去年就150个职位缺口。

“人们一般在哪个环节失利的呢？”

“在测谎这一环节有30%的人被淘汰。”

如果想成为特工，年龄需要介于23至26岁之间，有大学学历，还必须掌握一门外语，并通过健康体检。

“其中任何一个职位都要求必须是美国公民，还必须通过测谎仪检测。快点行动吧！申请的截止日期是下周。”
