MI5 Careers (http://www.mi5careers.co.uk/pages/jobs.asp)
This is perhaps one of the very best agencies in the world

MI5 Official Home Site (http://www.mi5.gov.uk/output/Page2.html)

GCHQ-UK (http://www.gchq.gov.uk/recruitment/index.html)
This is a intelligence agency. They listen to phone calls incoming, and outgoing from the UK. Also, they read into emails..etc.

Not much is known about the MI6. They are the UK's equivalent to the CIA, and were not officially acknowledged until 1994. James Bond was based on them.

CSIS..Canada's Intelligence Agency (http://www.csis-scrs.gc.ca/eng/employ/employmenu_e.html)
"Equivalent" to the CIA. However, they are far from the best in the world :nod:

CSE..Communications Security Establishment (http://www.cse-cst.gc.ca/en/careers.html)
Canada's lesson known agency

MOSSAD (http://www.mossad.gov.il/Mohr/MohrTopNav/MohrEnglish/MohrAboutUs/)
Israel's Intelligence Agency. One of the best in the world, and the most deadly

I find all this very interesting. I have actually contemplated a career with the MI5/CSIS, but the requirements are quite high

A friend of mine actually worked for CSIS in his former life. He said it is not as exciting as one might think. The best way to get a job there is to get a degree from a military university and then go on from there.

...and it looks like the pay s_cks...

Maybe another career ...

hmmmm ... how about ...




The alarm is the wind-up kind with a fire-bell clang. It shatters my sleep at 4 a.m. I sit bolt upright in bed and say aloud to myself, "The hardest part of the job is getting up."

The officers tell us this several times a day. We are a motley collection of 121 men and four women in a class of recently hired New York City sanitation workers?"garbage men" in common parlance?and so far, only a handful of days into our new career, the depth and persistence of our fatigue is the biggest surprise of the job.

I don my uniform, a janitor-green color officially called "spruce." Starting this year, every sanitation worker must have his name embroidered on his shirt. The new policy is meant to assist the many systems of surveillance that come with the job, but the crisp white letters look sharp on the dark cloth and I stand a little straighter....................

Yeah, but then again..that is the CSIS :laughing:

But hey, would be interesting..especially for the MI5

Ddon't knock it. He was posted to London UK for 5 yr and worked with MI5. He and his family had a huge house in Hertfordshire near Sawbridgeworth, where I first met him. Not a bad posting if you can get it. Ooops that is when he was Military Intelligence. Shortly after he joined CSIS he went back to university and became an Anglican priest.

Sometimes I look at the "Who's Online" window. Often I see "guests" "Viewing Printable Version" of older posts. Why? Is it the CIA? Here's a screen capture.

Usually the guests are search engine bots just following every link they find. But sometimes they are not... printable versions you say? :conspire:

EDIT: I was online the day we got invaded by Inktomi to the tune of 388 simultaneous "visitors".... what a creepy feeling. First it's me an Newfie John just chilling... and then WHAP! there was 6 or 8 of them in every single forum. Some forums had 15-20.

It felt like I was in the Matrix and they were close, but they couldn't find me
