To whom it may concern,Federal Bureau of InvestigationFBI Dallas One Justice WayDallas, TX 75220

To whom it may concern:

I am writing this letter to inform you of my desire to work in and with the FBI. I am applying for the position of special agent within the Bureau. I have always known about this position as I do not believe there are many Americans today who haven’t heard or seem television shows about the FBI special agents.

I have always had a keen interest in law enforcement: however, I’ve never had the desire to be a policeman. My neighbor growing up was involved with the border patrol and often told me stories of the many times he worked with FBI special agents. Ever since then I have made it a prominent goal of mine to one day become a special agent.

As you will be able to tell from my resume I have much experience in being in leadership roles on teams of all sorts. Throughout my years I’ve developed the skills necessary to aptly deal with people from all different walks of life. I believe I can contribute to your organization in that I have had the unique opportunity throughout life to encounter and befriend a very multicultural roster of peers, during this time I’ve learned how to deal with them each and how best to unite them towards a common goal.

I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to sit down with you in person and talk face to face about any possible future I could have with the agency. I can make myself available at any time as this posting is of the upmost importance to me. I am not currently looking for a job but on the contrary I am looking for a career and my skills and desires make me ideally suited for this one. Thank you for taking the time to read through my letter and resume and I very much look forward to speaking with you in person.

You can reach me anytime at (432) 638-5849 or by email through [email protected]

Sincerely,

Career Goals

Long Term Goals

Ever since I can remember I have spent my life running around outside, playing

sports, and generally seeing how just how much grief I could cause my parents in one

days’ time. I haven’t really changed much since then I still enjoy being outside and

playing with any kind of ball I can get my hands on. I have always been an active person

which is why it is surprising that I chose to begin my college career on the path to

becoming an engineer. When I first set out with my original goal in mind it was based off

of my love of being outside and building thing, which in my mind was what and engineer

was all about. As I soon came to realize that isn’t exactly how the world works and under

the threat of being stuck behind a desk for the rest of my life I made the decision to

pursue a different career path.

Many of the games I played during my youth revolved around good guys and bad

guys and bringing the evil doers to justice. Since my sophomore year I had a pretty good

idea of what I wanted to do after college but it was only recently that I truly made the

decision. I want to be outside and I want to be stopping bad guys, so with that in mind I

decided to pursue a career with the FBI. I have spoken to many people either working

with or that have relatives in the FBI and I always get the same answer, the FBI isn’t

looking for a specific degree what they want are people with analytical minds, people

who can take any situation and figure out the right course of action. I believe that by

developing my interdisciplinary skills I will be moving one step closer to achieving the

level that they are looking for. I will be graduating in May this year and after that the next


step is simply to apply. Along the way I will be in contact with both our local FBI office

and my friends who are a part of the program, I will also need to stay in shape in order to

be ready to meet the physical requirements. It is my hope that through the proper

preparation I will be able to join the ranks of the FBI upon completion of my college

degree.

Short Term Goals

The most important and meaningful objective on the way to reaching my long-

term goal of entering the FBI is the completion of my schooling. I am on track to

graduate with a degree in University Studies in May and I have the opportunity to

continue in college for one more year after that and complete a degree in

industrial engineering as well. I have not yet decided if I will be staying to get a

second degree here at tech or not yet but as of now I am planning on completing

college this May and am preparing for that prospect. I will of course be pushing

myself and doing my best to attain all A’s in every course from now until then in

order to give myself a leg up on any competition.

Another short term goal I have placed on myself is getting physically ready and

staying in shape for any kind of physical requirements I will need to meet for the

position. I began my college career at Hardin-Simmons University and while I

was there I played football for them. During my time there I was in the best shape

of my life as I had coaches pushing me every day to be the best I could possibly

be, in the recent years I have taken a few steps back in that area however I have

kept in decent shape and am in the process of returning to that level. It is much

harder to push yourself and hold yourself accountable when you are the only one


on the team and while that has been an obstacle I have encountered I am doing a

much better job now that I have a set goal in mind.

The third short term goal I will be working towards is meeting with the local FBI

office and just getting a feel for what they are looking for. I will need to call and

schedule an appointment with them and do so soon so that I can get started

working on any pointers they may have for me. I will be holding myself

accountable for completing all of these goals and through the support of my

family and friends I am confident I can achieve them all.

Why I Have Selected These Goals

I have selected my long term goal by taking what I believe in and what I can excel at and

applying that to a job setting. I then began to wade through the vast job market and narrow down

the possible choices for me. After much research I came to the conclusion that a career with the

FBI would be the best fit for me.

How I will improve my Skills and Experiences to Reach These Goals

I plan on improving myself by creating a strict outline for where I want to be and when. I

will do this by utilizing the short term goals I have set forth for myself in this paper. I am of the

belief that if I stick to my goals and continue to improve every day that I will one day be able to

attain a job with the FBI.

How this Class Helped Me Prepare for These Goals

This class in particular has helped me to learn how to take my different disciplinary

backgrounds and combine them into a useful set of skills, especially in a workplace environment.


I am now much better prepared to enter the professional world and begin my job search. The

documents and assignments I have completed in this class have given me a huge step in the right

direction in getting my job search going. Those same assignments have seen me doing much

more extensive research into how to apply for the FBI and I am now much better prepared for

when that day comes.
