If you're like me, you want to
use your psychology background
for something meaningful —
something bigger than yourself.
The CIA is the perfect
place to make this happen.
Here, your talents
make it possible for us
to safeguard the national
security of America
through the collection
and production
of critical foreign
intelligence for the President
and senior policymakers.
When I come to work each day,
I know that I am contributing
to a mission greater
than myself.
As a Psychologist,
you might be wondering
where you fit
in at the CIA.
There are a number of
opportunities you can explore.
You could be a Human
Resources Officer,
where you would provide
substantive advice
across a full range
of HR functional areas
to include workforce planning,
talent acquisition, staffing
and selection, benefits,
performance management,
policy and retention.
Another exciting position
is the Leadership Analyst.
You would be analyzing
and producing assessments
of foreign leaders and
other key decision—makers
in the political,
economic, military,
and science & technology
industries.
Or, if you have a passion for
world affairs, you could serve
in the Directorate of
Operations, where you would help
with the clandestine
collection and dissemination
of intelligence from
human sources.
This means you would be
directly involved with some
of the most sensitive
work this nation performs.
The Directorate of Operations
hires all backgrounds,
but with your unique
understanding of people,
you may be better positioned
to understand foreign nationals
with access to information vital
to our national security
interests.
Psychologists have
successful careers
as Collection Management
Officers, Operations Officers
or Staff Operations Officers.
No matter what professional
path you choose,
a career in the CIA will
give you a unique role
in keeping not only the United
States, but the world, safer.
You have a lot of career
choices in the CIA.
Now, the only question is:
