How do I become a spy? [PS I know Chinese]?

Question

When I was little I really liked James Bond but I thought that he was too male, he should be called something like Jane Bond instead, so I gave my English name as Jane [I am Chinese, we always give ourselves English names]. I noticed that James Bond studied Chinese at Oxford University so I spent the last five years doing the same. I had to pretend I was English and not Chinese which was hard but the work was easy once I got onto the course.

Anyway, I was hoping to be approached by the foreign office whilst studying but it didn't happen. Now I am approaching graduation but I don't have any job on the horizon. What did I do wrong? Did I choose the wrong name?

PS I even plan to buy gadgets like James Bond. For example:

Answer 1

go away

Answer 2

1. First, you'd have to get yourself, at least 6 packs would do fine.

2. Learn how to be fast, and silent, you could practise this by sneaking up on your siblings, and before they realize, they've got a knife on their neck.

3. Learn martial arts, and learn how to obtain flexibility.

4. You have to know more languages than Chinese and English, how about you try French and Spanish.

5. If you want to learn how to run fast, train on mountains. That's why Kenyans are always first. There is low amount of oxygen on the mountains. If you've got the hang of it, on ground, consider yourself a ninja ;)

6. Learn how to jump, land and climb trees. Its a good hiding place when your being chased.

7. Learn how to camouflage yourself adjusting to the environment. Learn how to protect your Identity, Jane Bond kinda gives it away, because you probably look chinese. Maybe a spanish name, it really all depends if you look like another nationality.

8. Learn how to drive with speed and skill and deguise your accent.

Answer 3

Me and my friends were having this discussion the other day. Apparently, you don't need a lot of qualifications to become a member of MI5. I think that one of the more common jobs to get at MI5 would be a secretary or assistant (like Miss Moneypenny), and then work your way to becoming an agent. Remember, once your in the business, its easier to pull yourself up the ladder. You just need a way in.

Answer 4

Well if you know Chinese that would be a big plus for the CIA because Chinese is listed as one of the critical languages to know. If you look at CIA.gov and look under the linguist section you should be able to find jobs that will be fitting.

Answer 5

Both the CIA and FBI have an application forms, but do not forget AFT and Border Agents. Being a sky mashall sounds interesting.

Answer 6

So what has speaking Chinese got to do with it when you do not in the least know how to be discreet!

Not sure James Bond ever bought the relevant toys or advertised his desire to be a spy on Yahoo.

Answer 7

Check CIA web site. Will hellp to answer ur question.

Answer 8

James Bond is a super spy, but nothing like those fictional ones that are close to the real world type. He is just like Ethan Hunt from Mission Impossible, Nick Fury and the The Man From Uncle.



So Bond is NO Jack Ryan a CIA Analyst, John Clark a CIA Operation Officer in CIA's National Clandestine Service 's Special Activities Division, but has also done regular operation that has nothing to with SAD. Bond is no Edward Foley a CIA Operation Officer not with SAD and only does regular operations, George Simley a British Secret Intelligence Service Operation Officer, who could be Station Chief already at his age and all those working for the British SIS. Last of all he is no Alec Leamus and Andy Osnard, both are British Secret Intelligence Service Operation Officer.



To be a spy it is nothing like James Bond at all, reading close to the real world type spy novels one get a lot of ideas how the job is and what it takes to do which kind. Got To have a Bachelor(use to I read somewhere at less a Master back in the 90s as I remember. Maybe it changed# to be a CIA Analyst and the right major that lead one there like history, economics, political science, national security, international studies, geography, library science and remote sensing. CIA Operation Officer also need 4 year college degree, don't know are majors the same as an Analyst's. Doing anything in the CIA, I think one might need to have some kind of military service, even if it just behind a computer like NASA style during a launch. Robert M. Gates went to college first and the CIA send him to the Air Force just sitting behind a computer send out coronet and so on. He might not have even done any basic training that way. Being a CIA Analystis not a boring job like some people think, you really have to know your stuff. What one find in their report could be very important, and it the CIA Deputy Director Of Intelligence and his meeting with the Director and other CIA Deputy Directors like the National Clandestine Service does determine what the National Intelligence Director, the President and his National Security Advisor need to know. Plus is it more then just a regular basic daily bbriefing or just a regular basic intelligence daily briefing at most.
