Vee Have Vays of Making You Talk

Nasty Job in Iraq Alert!

L-3 Communications (yes, a private company) are looking for interrogators to work in Iraq. It takes more than watching Marathon Man a few dozen times to get this job. You need to have served as a military, approved civilian interrogator or had at least five years under your belt in an intelligence agency. They will also speak to police who have completed an interrogation or debriefing course.

Unfortunately, I can’t apply for this job. US citizens, who are eligible to check out classified information at the Secret level, are the only lucky bunnies who can go for it. And don’t lie in your resume because “applicants must agree to submit to a polygraph examination.” Really. That’s exactly what the advertisement says.

And get this, interrogators must “have no demonstrated history of drug or alcohol abuse or psychiatric disorder; must agree to random drug and alcohol screening and have no demonstrated history of financial difficulty.”

Remember, L-3 Communications “maintain a drug-free workplace and perform pre-employment substance abuse testing.” Oh well, looks like I’ll be sending back my invite to their Christmas party this year.

Position description in full.
