A few years ago, I published a series of posts called "How To Get A Job In Intelligence". It was, without a
doubt, one of the most popular series I have ever written.
Well, I am about to put out an updated version of that series as an e-book on Kindle.
I have been working with my research assistant, McKenzie Rowland, for the better part of three months to update the info and improve the advice (more articles, more links, more hints and tips, more inside info) and I am getting close to launch.
But I could use your help.
I am looking for feedback from people who found some use in the original series. If you read the original series and found it helpful or informative, I would appreciate it if you would drop me a line: kwheaton at mercyhurst dot edu. I would like to talk to you about what worked for you and what did not.
Thanks!

The Game Every Intel Professional Should Play Is Now Online And Free!
About a year ago, I wrote about one of my favorite games, the old Viking game of Hnefatafl. I said then I thought it was a game every intel professional should play.
Since then I created an launched an updated tabletop version of the game through Kickstarter called Cthulhu vs the Vikings and a few months ago announced a very rough online version of the game.
Today, the high quality version is available for free on my website, SourcesandMethodsGames.com!
The game is an asymmetric, player vs. player game. For those of you unfamiliar with gamer-speak, this means that, like games such as Words With Friends, you are playing a real person and not the computer. It also means that you do not have to sit at the terminal waiting - you can play a few moves, walk away and come back and finish it later. You can even have up to 5 games going at the same time!
Another unique feature of this games is that you can either play against people you have invited or you can choose the "Quickplay" option which will match you against the next player to come to the game and choose quickplay as well.
It's a great opportunity to play a great game! Hope you enjoy it!
