(Note: This is the last part of this 12 part marathon (not what I had in mind when I started, I assure you...) on jobs in intelligence. I would like to thank all those who contributed comments or even whole sections to the series. Your efforts made this series much more valuable to those trying to break into intelligence. I would also like to thank all of you job hunters who took the time to send me notes telling me how useful this series was to you. I wish you all the best of luck in your job searches!)

In this final post in this series, I intend to include all of those links for which I have not found a spot for in any of the previous posts. This list is by no means all-inclusive. Please do not hesitate to add your own good link in the comments...

The best single link I know:

Intelligence Jobs And Internships On Squidoo -- I set up this "lens" on Squidoo a couple of years ago to provide a "one-stop shop" for Mercyhurst students looking for a job in intel. I had one of our super work studies update it last year and will probably see if I can get another one to update it later this fall but the site covers may of the basic job sites and even has some dynamic content where new jobs appear as they become available in all three disciplines.

Other Links of Interest:

(Note: I apologize for not linking all of the hyperlinks to the appropriate text below. I simply did not have the time to make all of the links. To get to the sites you may have to copy and paste the URLs into your browser's address bar. In addition, much of this part of the list comes from LTC Rich Holden's amazing list of intel job sites first published on the US Army's INTELST. I genuinely appreciate him allowing me to republish it here.)

Thanks for mentioning the WSL "Hard Times Resource Guide" page on employment. I hope it's of use to some of your readers.

This website is principally directed at people in the field who already have clearances, but they do sometimes list jobs that don't require a clearance. Remember, as well, that someone will always process a clearance for someone with the right background. This is the ultimate clearing house for contractor jobs and resume database: www.intelligencecareers.com

Just to let you know, the link for "Intelligence Jobs And Internships On Squidoo" seems to be linking to "Part 11 -- Advice From Veterans (How To Get A Job In Intelligence)"

Thanks for all of your hard work in producing this series Kristan. It has finally convinced me that intelligence analysis is not the field for me...

I will however take a pass on becoming a massage therapist!
