Hello all, I am new to the board but have looked around without a username for quite awhile. I am needing advice on the job search, because honestly not sure what to do anymore. I have applied for so many jobs, but have heard so little back from any of them.

A little background:
I am a 23 year old female, I have a bachelors and masters degree ( I just graduated with my masters a few days ago). Both degrees in criminology/criminal justice. I was an US probation intern as an undergrad, and a US Marshals intern as a grad student. Other than those 2 internships, I have no other relatable experience (I have worked at the same restaurant part time since 2006).

My ultimate goal (like many of you) is federal law enforcement. I know, however, it is a really bad time for getting hired right now. But honestly, I am just looking for anything in the field right now. I am even looking local pd, but have been told by 2 different pd they won't even look at me because 1) I am over educated for just starting out and 2) based on my internships and the masters, they know I will go federal at the first chance and I am just "using" them for the experience and until the federal budget cuts are over and they start hiring again.

Basically, I am just upset that I cannot find a job, given my education and my experience. I am not sure what to do at this point... Any help or advice on what to mo is greatly appreciated. Just wanna see what route you all would take if you had my qualifications (or lack of). Dream goal would to be a deputy us marshal or any federal 1811, but at this point I know that is not really possible. ]]> Law Enforcement Questions Lucky13 http://www.911jobforums.com/f50/needing-advice-straight-out-school-65911/ http://www.911jobforums.com/f50/snitching-65909/ Tue, 21 May 2013 22:55:17 GMT What are the most popular trends of law enforcement to track and investigate criminals using insiders either with a battery in use or with wire tapping.

I can't see myself doing much besides law enforcement particularly a U.S. Marshal. I'm 24 I'm in the U.S. Army as a combat engineer and I'm currently in Afghanstan getting ready to come home and start college. My issue is with my criminal record I'd do anything to prove myself trustworthy but here's what I have against me. 1 underage drinking charge I was 20 at the time and i spent a few hours in the drunk tank. 3 speeding tickets and a wreckless driving ticket. It's bad I know but i was young. I read that to become a U.S. marshal, a good driving record is required i noticed that's a fairly loose definition. I've never been in or cause a wreck. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I appreciate any helpful feedback in advance. ]]> Law Enforcement Questions Travis775 http://www.911jobforums.com/f50/im-sure-answer-thread-but-i-cannot-find-one-satisfies-me-65907/ http://www.911jobforums.com/f58/tea-exam-question-65905/ Mon, 20 May 2013 05:28:12 GMT If I took the TEA exam in conjunction with the hiring process of a particular agency (i.e. ATF) and I passed, would that have reciprocity in the hiring processes for other agencies who also use the TEA exam (i.e. USSS, IRS, etc.), or would I have to retake the TEA exam for EACH agency, even though...

Associated Press
Sunday 19 May 2013 19.58 EDT

Two FBI special agents on the agency's elite hostage rescue team have been killed in a training accident in Virginia.

The FBI's national press office said the accident happened off the coast of Virginia Beach on Friday. No other details were given and the cause is under investigation.

The special agents were identified as 41-year-old Christopher Lorek and 40-year-old Stephen Shaw,

FBI director Robert Mueller said: "We mourn the loss of two brave and courageous men … our hearts are with their wives, children and other loved ones who feel their loss most deeply."

The hostage rescue team is part of the critical incident response group based at Quantico in northern Virginia. ]]> News Forum md1735 http://www.911jobforums.com/f66/2-fbi-agents-die-training-exercise-65903/ http://www.911jobforums.com/f58/bop-usms-65897/ Mon, 13 May 2013 19:42:19 GMT Can anyone shine some light on this topic.

I have wanted to become a U.S. Marshal for sometime and they seem to be on a hiring freeze like pretty much every other federal agency. I was offered a job at the BOP and I know that they are both a part of the Department of Justice, I also start interning with the USMS office in June of this year. Is there anything else I can do to make myself appear more competitive. This is what I want to do with my life. I was told that once you are in the federal system you get "preference" if you want to cross over to another federal agency. Any and all input would be greatly appreciated!

I am currently employed in the private sector, and volunteer my time as a NYS Peace Officer/Special Police Officer.

I am interested in a few state investigator positions (DMV investigator, etc..), but they require at least 1 year of full-time, paid investigations work. Can someone share with me some possible investigator positions that are entry level and do not require this background. The only one that I would know of would be becoming a full time officer, waiting a few years, trying out for detective/investigator, but that is not what I want to do. I am basically looking for a job that would provide good experience, so that I can go after a job I really want in a few years.

Any advice or information would be helpful. ]]> Law Enforcement Questions siqqq http://www.911jobforums.com/f50/entry-level-investigator-positions-65896/ http://www.911jobforums.com/f56/help-portsmouth-norfolk-newport-news-virginia-beach-police-information-65895/ Mon, 13 May 2013 00:00:29 GMT Hey everybody, I was wondering if there is anyone on that works for any of these departments (Portsmouth, Norfolk, VBA, Newport News) that could shed some insight on their hiring and so forth?

I'm a police officer in Baltimore, and I'm looking to transfer down into that area of Virginia. I was wondering which department is the busiest where narcotics is concerned. I'm a narc at heart, it's all I know and do lol. I spent a few months on patrol before I went to a drug unit. I'm wondering how these narcotics units are down there? Also, do any of these departments do lateral transfers? If you need to, you can PM me instead.

The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office says 20-year-old Bryan Zuniga was pulled over early Thursday morning for failing to maintain his lane.

Zuniga reportedly pulled over, and then jumped out of the passenger-side door. Deputies say Zuniga kicked in a nearby vinyl fence during his escape.

Authorities caught up Zuniga a few hours later... at a local hospital, where he was being treated for multiple puncture wounds to his face, arm and armpit. Zuniga told deputies a gator attacked him near a water treatment plant in unincorporated St. Petersburg.

Zuniga was released from the hospital and taken to the Pinellas County Jail without further incident. He faces charges of breaking or injuring fences, fleeing and eluding a police officer, driving while license suspended/revoked and resisting an officer without violence.

No word on what became of the alligator

I recently read that while at Quantico, FBI trainees will qualify with either the Glock 22 or 23 (chambered in .40 S&W), but can also qualify with the Glock 17 or 19 (chambered in 9mm) if they fail to perform with the .40 variants... Apparently agents are then issued whatever weapon they qualified with.

Not sure if any of this is true or if I just misread, but do agents usually have options when it comes to cartridges, or is everyone generally given the same ammo type?

My experience with handguns has only been with 9mm models. To those who carry .40 S&W, what do you think of it? ]]> Federal Questions Corrsta http://www.911jobforums.com/f58/fle-service-weapons-65891/
