FBI Needs Clerical Employees

The Dallas Office of the FBI, through its Special Agent in Charge, Mr. James A. Abbott, has announced it is in need of clerical employees to fill a limited number of clerk, typist, and stenographer positions at Dallas, Texas. No previous experience is necessary since employees are assigned to existing vacancies when they enter on duty and receive on-the-job training in their assigned duties. These positions are not under Civil Service appointment regulations. To qualify for consideration for FBI employment you must: (1) be a United States citizen; (2) have a high school graduate or its equivalent; (3) be at least 16 years old; (4) have satisfactory vision, with or without corrective glasses; and (5) pass a rigid background investigation before being made suitable for employment.

FBI clerical employees may continue their college education on a part-time basis while working at these full-time clerical jobs. Young men and women who possess a four year college degree from an accredited college, and who have been employed in a clerical capacity with the FBI for three years, and meet all other requirements, may then be considered for the Special Agent position at a starting salary of $18,760 (GS-10) plus overtime of $4,690 per year.

An application and detailed information may be obtained by calling or writing the Special Agent in Charge, FBI, 200 Memorials Continental Building, Dallas, Texas 75201, Telephone Area Code 214/741 – 1851, or by contacting the Texarkana Texas FBI Office at 773 – 3382. Completed applications should be sent to the above address, as processing of such applications can be instituted as much as six months prior to an individual’s availability. Upon receipt of a completed application, the interested applicant will be contacted and arrangements made for administering appropriate tests at a time and place convenient to the applicant. Only those applicants passing these tests will be afforded interviews.

Vacancies for the positions of Clerk, Typist, and Stenographer frequently exist in Bureau Headquarters, in Washington, D.C., for which interested and qualified applicants may also be considered.

Benefits include: annual leave, sick leave, health and life insurance, and retirement benefits.
