I’ve been trying to apply for positions like this for years. I have a Masters in Information assurance, several industry security certifications, and 15+ years in actual private-industry IT, and they don’t even return my calls.

And yet they’ll bring in an ex-furniture salesman, who admits that the extent of his training is OJT with the FBI?

It’s like Andersen consulting back in the day hiring non-computer science grads as systems analysts. A Northern Ireland based consultant told me once he had only 3 months of computer related training. Ireland gave huge tax breaks for employers like this and then eventually would force them to pay six months of severance pay for each year of past employment. This guy probably got paid peanuts by the FBI. Or was hired after he got caught hacking.

Compared to the illustrious high-school drop-out Eddie Snowden, this Mularski guy is a piker.

He likely had “connections” to obtain consideration for the job. Without knowing people resume’s usually aren’t enough for specific work as that.

If you’ve been trying “for years” then pretty easy to assume ‘How’ you’re going about it isn’t working for you.

Have you actually fill out an application.

Have you researched the hiring process and proceeded through that.

If not your complaining is just air blowing in the wind.

He is a regular FBI special agent. He started as a trainee at Quantico like everyone else, and began his career as a rookie agent with a gun and a badge.

These agencies don’t generally hire laterally, everyone has to work up through the ranks.
