My name is Alex Silverstein. I've been an FBI agent for over 26 and a half years. I was going to go to law school and I was going to be an attorney and I had the very good fortune of working with several great FBI agents in the Baltimore division and talking to them about the FBI and what the mission was. The things that they did, I realized that that's where I belong. The way that you can impact the entire world, you may not know exactly how you're going to do that, and it may not be apparent immediately. But there's nothing in this country or frankly, the world that the FBI doesn't touch in some form or fashion when things are going wrong. I've been on the evidence response team. I am weapons of mass destruction coordinator. I'm a paramedic. I've also been able to serve as a liaison to the Jewish community here in Jacksonville. The FBI is representative of all the people in the United States and of the world, and we have to be able to meet people where they live. If we can't meet people where they live. We can't help them. We can't represent them. We can't fight for their rights if we don't understand who these people are. This job is a calling. If this is something that you want to do, then absolutely go for it. It could be a hard road, but nothing worthwhile is easy. Please join us on March 23rd to learn more about becoming an FBI special agent.
