Exclamation Fancy being a spy?

If you're looking for a career change with a real difference how about this?

http://www.heardbutnotseen.co.uk/

Believe it or not, the link came up as a banner ad. on the PCPlus website! Hadn't realised that recruitment for the intelligence services had become so overt.

Hello

They have been recruiting for a while. Before you get all excited though, go and have a look at the payscales.

Just go to www.mi5.gov.uk or www.gchq.gov.uk . AFAIK box are trying to double their staff to cope with the workload.

But don't expect to be able to run a scoob on the wages.

And why not? 007 runs an Aston Martin FFS! Running a scoob costs knack all in comparison.

Pah, they only want the best of the best and pays poor compared to
what you could earn elsewhere.

One of my buddies from uni went last year for testing (this guy is as smart as they come) and didnt get in.
Supposedly they were only interested in people who could speak arabic at that time.

I was bored @ uni had a good read off http://www.mi5.gov.uk/ its actually quite a interesting site.

Espechially the myths section http://www.mi5.gov.uk/output/Page119.html

I didnt know they were a civilian organisation and members of staff have no executive powers, such as the authority to detain or arrest people



Found it a bit weird that the site is available in 2 languages English and Arabic, whats with that ??

Employees should be able to blag their way out when taken hostage, as the Govt won't do anything.
