Jobs in New Mexico with the FBI

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is recruiting college students for future jobs in New Mexico.

Nvent Marketing Partnership, a student-run marketing agency at The University of New Mexico, plans to host two information sessions for those interested in a career with the FBI. The sessions will take place from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. November 9 at the UNM Student Union Building.

"The career opportunities with government agencies like the FBI are in high demand, especially because of the benefits that they provide," Natalie Rogers, program coordinator of UNM Anderson School Career Services, said. "The job security that they provide certainly outweighs any job security that private sector careers offer. FBI career opportunities are great for individuals with diverse educational backgrounds."

Those who attend the free event will have the chance to view a presentation by an FBI special agent that will detail the opportunities and benefits that a career with the FBI offers. Attendees also will be able to collect additional literature and promotional materials.

Currently, opportunities are available for special agents and professional staff members. Anyone interested in a special agent position should have accounting/finance, engineering, computer science/information technology, science/math, intelligence, law enforcement, investigation and military experience.

Fluency in critical languages, such as Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Punjabi, Russian, Spanish and Vietnamese also is highly-valued. Those seeking professional support positions can have experience in a variety of fields.

The FBI was established in 1908 to protect and defend the United States against terrorist and foreign intelligence threats. The FBI currently employs more than 30,000 workers at its headquarters in Washington, D.C. and throughout its 56 field offices and more than 60 international offices.
