Why Choose the CIA?

In order for the President, Cabinet, Congress and other policymakers to reach informed decisions on US national security, they need to know what you know as a CIA employee.

Whatever your position, you will be a part of the first line of defense to warn and protect your nation. This is not an ordinary opportunity or career. You will work with people possessing extraordinary integrity combined with intellectual curiosity, perception, analytical ability, and strong team skills. You will be challenged to be your absolute best, rewarded fairly, and encouraged to attain your highest career goals. Why work for a company when you can serve your nation? Your experience, expertise and personal initiative could lead to a truly worthwhile career at the CIA.
