The interviewer asks this question to ensure you have the educational requirements the FBI is looking for in a candidate. The FBI requires their Intelligence Analysts to hold a minimum of a bachelor's degree in national security, intelligence studies, or political science and have some experience in areas like intelligence collection, military or foreign service, or cryptology. Describe the degree(s) and certifications you hold and how your education and experience have prepared you for an FBI Intelligence Analyst career.

Avoid not meeting the minimum requirements. If you do not have a minimum of a bachelor's degree in a related field, the interview panel will pass you over for another candidate.

"I have a bachelor's degree in intelligence studies from American Military University. After receiving my degree, I was hired by Amazon as a Threat Intelligence Analyst, where I have worked for the past five years. My role requires me to identify, interpret, and disseminate information of intelligence crucial to the protection of Amazon customers and partners. I feel my education and work experience have sufficiently prepared me for a career as an FBI Intelligence Analyst."

"I received my master's degree in national security and intelligence studies three years ago while working as a Border Patrol Agent. I was part of the in-house intelligence unit that offered mission-critical field intelligence to the Border Patrol Special Operations Group. I worked with the Border Patrol for twelve years before pursuing a career with the FBI. I believe my education and field experience has more than adequately prepared me for the position of FBI Intelligence Analyst."
