A chance to interact with FBI special agents and professional staff will be part of a virtual recruitment event July 22.

The Albuquerque FBI Division will hold the Diversity Agent Recruitment event from 5 pm-7:30 pm as an invitation-only information session meant to familiarize special agent applicants with the unique opportunities available at the FBI.

Special Agent in Charge Raul Bujanda, of the Albuquerque FBI Division, said the FBI must reflect the makeup of the communities it serves.

"We invite all members of ethnic and gender groups underrepresented in policing to apply, although this event is open to applicants of all backgrounds," he said.

Applicants will speak online with a recruiter, participate in small-group sessions with seasoned agents, watch a video about what life is like as a student at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Va., and learn tips to streamline the application process.

Applicants for the FBI Special Agent position must be between the ages of 23 and 36 years old, have one to two years of full-time work experience, and hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university.

No law enforcement or military experience is required, and applicants of all majors may apply.

Applicants with backgrounds in foreign languages, STEM, accounting, and law are especially encouraged to attend the DAR.

To request an invitation to this event, interested parties can apply online by going to fbijobs.gov

Select “Apply to Jobs” and search for “DAR Albuquerque Talent Network.”

Attendance will be limited to guarantee personalized attention, so applicants should apply at their earliest convenience to secure an invitation.
