What’s It Like to Be a Female Special Agent?

Here’s one story from a 20-year veteran:

“When I was an Agent in the New York Office, I was given an undercover assignment in a public corruption case. In order to prove that a public official was accepting a personal vacation in exchange for political favors, I was assigned to follow him to the Miami spa where he was vacationing with his girlfriend. In between duty-bound massages, manicures, and pedicures, I was able to collect the evidence needed to prove his guilt.”

Maybe not an everyday assignment, but not unusual either.

If you are a U.S. citizen between the ages of 23 and 36...a woman...have a 4-year college degree and at least 3 years professional service under your belt...and are in excellent physical shape with a willingness to work anywhere in the FBI’s jurisdiction–then we’d like to direct you straight to www.fbijobs.gov to learn more about exactly what it’s like to be a female special agent.
