If you are a graduating college senior, the FBI wants you – to apply, at least.
Friday, October 14 is the deadline for the FBI’s 2016 Collegiate Hiring Initiative, a rare opportunity for graduating college seniors to apply to the FBI before they get their diploma. The agency is recruiting more than 700 students nationwide for entry level non-agent positions
This opportunity is open to college students who will graduate within next 12 months and those who have graduated since December 2014. Other minimum requirements include U.S. citizen, minimum 2.95 cumulative GPA, and passage of all FBI employment background investigation requirements.
The application process, including background check, takes about a year to complete. While seniors are completing their last year in school, their background check is being conducted at the same time. So, when they graduate, they can start at the agency without the one-year delay.
At any other time of the year, you have to have a college degree before you can apply for these positions, said an FBI spokesperson.
