Clearing Your Head

What are some things that you do to clear your head? For me sometime I like to just sit in silence in my room just looking up st the ceiling or sometimes I like to get lift some weights at the gym. I personally think everyone should work out especially through the week after work. A lot of people would rather work out before they go to work because they see that as a great way to start the day.

Intelligence and National Security Alliance (INSA) networking and career event for aspiring IC professionals- June 25, 2013

On June 25, 2013 the Intelligence and National Security Alliance (INSA) hosted the event, “Next Steps: Beginning and Expanding Your Networks”, to address internships and provide advice to young professionals interested in developing a career in intelligence and homeland security.

After a one-hour networking reception, NSA Director of Research, Dr. Michael Wertheimer provided the opening address and shared his experiences transitioning between academia, private sector and the federal government. He offered several words of advice for the younger members in the audience and noted that now is a good time to be focusing on careers in the intelligence community.   

Following Dr. Wertheimer’s remarks, a panel discussion moderated by George Bamford, Chief, Cyber Threat Branch, NGA addressed the value of internships, professional mentoring and initial steps towards building a successful career in intelligence and national security. Panelists included the Director of Human Resources at DIA, an Intelligence Analyst at FBI, a Consultant at PricewaterhouseCoopers and an Analyst at NGA. Key take away points and advice from the panel included the following:

Develop your network outside of work through volunteer activities. Get involved in professional associations and look for opportunities to volunteer (e.g. conferences). Doing so may offer unique opportunities that put you in direct contact with senior professionals in your field that can help advance your career. Also, if you can’t afford to attend a meeting, approach the meeting planners to see if you can volunteer. You may get access to the meeting as a result.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions early in your career. It is expected that you won’t know everything, although you may be trying to prove otherwise. You may be asking a question that has never been asked before. Also, seek out people in the organization that can help you solve problems.

Essential skills employers value in the IC and national security sector (stress these on your resume): foreign languages, creative problem-solving skills and knowledge management. 

Prior to your job interview, carefully research the agency’s mission. These are ingrained into the culture of the agency and you will be expected to have an awareness of their mission during the interview. 

Apply, apply, apply! Be persistent with your job applications. One of the panelists applied to the same job 3 times before finally receiving an interview.

“You’re always interviewing for your next job”. Treat informational interviews and every networking encounter as if it were a real job interview.

Hiring managers talk to other hiring managers. Even if you know you won’t take a position, don’t leave a sour taste in the employer’s mouth. If you impress a hiring manager/employer, but they don’t have any opening that currently fits your skill set, they may share your resume with an internal or external colleague in the intelligence community.
