SUBJECT 24 November Discussion of Career Trainee
Recruitment Process
I appreciate the time you spent with me addressing the
Agency's recruitment process. Having just endured a year of
tests, interviews and anxious anticipation, I value your
personal interest in this area.
25X1
25X1
Reflecting upon the topics we discussed, my overall
impression of the recruitment cycle is favorable. It is a
long and arduous process, yet it is a fair assessment of the
candidate which looks beyond raw test data. Specific parts
that could be strengthened are: the role of the program
officer and initiation to cover before coming on board. Due
to the clandestine nature of Agency life, the recruited Career
Trainee woud benefit from a strong orientation to the
intricacies of their new career.
As much as I tried to provide an objective review of. the
recruitment cycle I could not help interject my enthusiasm and
pride. at being selected for this program. Thank you again for
your time and interest.
