The United States Government must protect the American People and it is hiring people for Airport Security and Department of Homeland Security like never before. What are they looking for? Well they are looking for some understanding of security and if you have a criminal justice degree or even a two-year college degree with some law classes, criminal justice classes or security classes you may be surprised how easy it is to get hired.

Many people do not realize that the FBI is even hiring people who have smoked pot and therefore you maybe surprised that even with a few problems in your younger years that this will be looked over and you can still get hired. But of course do not list this on your resume. For instance you will not wish to list on the resume; Did nothing between 1995-1997 Hung out with friends and smoked pot, stoned most of the time during those years. Please do yourself a favor and leave that off of your resume.

Now then your chances of getting a job are very good because there is a severe shortage in security professionals and right now we need manpower in all these agencies from the Border Patrol to the TSA and throughout the Department of Homeland Security. Consider this in 2006.
