Good question, right? If you are a recent graduate from college or you are graduating in 2012, and you are interested in working as an analyst in the US national security intelligence community, it is probably one of the questions you are asking yourself.
The answer is contained in this document.
We tasked one of our outstanding grad students, Whitney Bergendahl, with examining this question back in the early fall. He put together a survey (which some of you may remember) and conducted some fairly extensive secondary research to put together this report. It is obviously a tough nut to crack but Whitney has done yeoman's work on this first ever, job market report for entry-level intel analysts.
Whitney and I are both interested in your feedback, of course. After you have had a chance to read the report, please leave a comment!
But wait, there's more!
(I know that sounds cheesy but there is, in fact, more...)
This report only covers the job market for entry-level analysts in the national security intelligence community. Between now and the end of February, we hope to publish two other reports on the job markets for entry-level law enforcement intellience analysts and for entry level intelligence analysts in the business community.
But wait! There's even more!
(Had to do it...)
While this series is a little old, I think much of the general guidance ought to still be good. If you want to read it, you will, of course, need to have an epub reader to access it. If you don't, there is also a pdf version or, of course, you can still access the original series on this blog.
