CIA employment…?
So, I was wondering how tough the selection process is, I’ll have my AS in criminal justice and a 4-year in Computer science. I speak spanish fluently, can speak arabic and basic conversational zulu (not kidding). I haven’t lived abroad, or traveled abroad for that matter, and haven’t been in any trouble with the law. Would I have a good chance of even being considered???

My other option is to go to a technical school, which also seems appealing and is much cheaper. Which option would yield more opportunities of employment? Would the CS degree allow me to go much further than the college program, given that I have Read more [...]
How important is GPA when finding a job? Do Employers really care about GPA? Or experience more?
Ok, heres my story. Like every human being, I made a mistake and messed around too much one semester and screwed up my GPA. After some calculations I noticed I will graduate with at best a cumulative GPA of 2.8, worst case scenario, a 2.6. So just HOW IMPORTANT is GPA to MOST employers? In my resume and employment preperation class, our professor said most employers don’t even look at you seriously unless you have a 3.0-3.5 GPA. However, I am a major in CS/IT (Computer Science/Information Technology) Read more [...]
