deal with a situation where you will probably graduate significantly earlier than you could receive a start date at CIA. Obviously there is no gaurantee on getting the position, so should a person take another job, knowing that they would leave it after only a few months if they got the CIA position? Instinctively that doesn't feel right, but is that standard practice for you guys?
It seems to me that the year up to graduation is prime time to get hired on at a good company, and I certainly would not want to end up in a situation with no CIA job and no more college fairs to go to because you've graduated.
How are others dealing with this issue? It's got to be a big one. |

you've brought up an important issue. my recommendation is to apply earlier than they tell yout to. I did my med/poly in august, finished my masters in december, and am still waiting. recently i had to kind of close the door on a private sector opportunity but I should also be able to get off the FSO register at State if I don't get this job. if my security clearance is rejected then at least i will be free to leave the country so I will probably go sit on a beach somewhere and think about what i want to do with myself.
