Spy Agency Puts Up ‘Help Wanted’ Sign
The highly secretive National Security Agency is looking to hire 7,500 workers over the next five years in the spy agency’s largest recruiting campaign since the 1980s.
A release posted on the agency’s website said the NSA plans to hire 1,500 workers by September, and another 1,500 in each of the next four years. Those with specialties in foreign languages, especially Arabic and Chinese, were encouraged to apply.
The agency, part of the Defense Department based at Ft. Meade, Md., wiretaps and gathers signals for foreign intelligence purposes.
