How can I get a job with the F.B.I?
Hi,
Thanks for your question.
As pinkfreud-ga already mentioned the best place to start is:
https://www.fbijobs.gov/.
"The FBI. It is like no other career choice you've explored. It's
challenging. Compelling. Important. Whatever your background or
expertise, you will find an FBI future exceptionally rewarding because
the work you perform will have a daily impact on the nation's security
and the quality-of-life for all U.S. citizens."
Either as a special agent:

Or as a Professional Support employee:

The process is explained here:

Some books and other publications that may help you get more familiar
with the FBI's hiring process:

Personal stories (it always helps to personally know an FBI employee...):
"Osborne is a FBI Special Agent. "After obtaining my undergraduate
degree, I developed a friendship with a Special Agent with Alcohol,
Firearms and Tobacco (ATF). ATF is another federal law enforcement
agency. I became increasingly interested in his job. I loved to hear
about the various assignments and cases he was working and decided to
try it for myself," she said. In June 1990, she took the written
examination with the FBI. After approximately 9 months, she was
finally accepted and reported to the FBI training academy at Quantico,
Virginia."

Last, but not least, is to have an education or former
military/political/academic/Law Service/Government background that is
in demand by the FBI.
Good Luck!
