The FBI is hiring and wants to meet those interested in being special agents in New Orleans next Wednesday.
They’re looking for those with STEM backgrounds, lawyers, accountants, and even teachers, and New Orleans field office lead agent Eric Rommal says they’re focusing next week on hiring women and people of color.
They’re seeking applicants aged 23 to 36, with at least two years of work experience, and a clean background. Rommal says they’ll be hearing from active agents about the benefits of the FBI lifestyle, but you’ll need to get that paperwork in early if you want to attend.
You can apply at FBIjobs.gov/agent/dar, or you can their office directly.
Starting pay for special agents is more than double the average salary in Louisiana at a whopping 80,000 dollars a year. Rommal says if you’re selected, you’ll be shipped off to Virginia to receive your training.
Of the 13,538 agents in the FBI, 20 percent are female and about 17 percent are from minority groups.
