Foreign Language Skills Are Essential to CIA's Mission
The Central Intelligence Agency is hiring qualified and motivated Language Instructors of Arabic, Chinese/Mandarin, French, German, Greek, Indonesian, Japanese, Persian (Farsi), Russian, Thai, and Turkish to work in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.
The CIA provides first-class training for energetic, creative and committed intelligence professionals to deliver programs that provide students with the foreign language communications skills and cross-cultural awareness they need to live and work abroad effectively, or to perform other language-related duties. Foreign Language Instructors apply the latest instructional methodologies to meet highly customized student needs; conduct language proficiency testing in reading, speaking and understanding for skills evaluation; and provide a variety of language support services worldwide.
Minimum requirements include a Bachelor's in foreign language, linguistics or a related field; native fluency in the language, as well as in English; 2-5 years of teaching experience; demonstrated knowledge of the respective area's history, culture, politics and economy; and the ability to use technologies related to the target language. The ability to teach and evaluate language skills for a wide range of adult students, from beginners to those with significant experience, and experience in program and/or education management are desired. As part of the screening process, selected applicants will be required to take language proficiency tests in their native language. English proficiency is required.
Salaries are based on the individual applicant's qualifications. New employees can qualify for a hiring bonus in more than one language, but the maximum amount is $35,000 per individual. Bonuses will be paid in a one-time lump sum payment. Language Instructors are also eligible to earn annual 'bonus' pay ranging from $4,875 to $9,750, based on evaluation of their language proficiency.
All applicants must successfully complete a thorough medical and psychological exam, a polygraph interview and an extensive background investigation. U.S. citizenship is required.
To be considered suitable for Agency employment, applicants must generally not have used illegal drugs within the last twelve months. The issue of illegal drug use prior to twelve months ago is carefully evaluated during the medical and security processing.
