Tell us about yourself.
The NSA is committed to adhering to the laws and authorities in all cybersecurity and signals intelligence across the country and finding individuals who are committed to this work lifestyle is important to them as they seek new staff members. Your interviewer genuinely wants to know who you are as a person, hoping to hear that you will live their core values of commitment to service, respect, integrity, and accountability. As you take the time to paint the full picture of your family life and interests outside of work, your interviewer will certainly appreciate any way you can highlight your ability to live and breathe the National Security Agency's core values.
"I grew up in the Midwest to parents who were public servants with my mother, a teacher, and my father, an attorney, who was elected as District Attorney to end his career. From a young age, I learned the importance of public service and this sparked me to join the Marine Corps after high school. As I approach my separation date next year, utilizing the skills I've developed in counterintelligence is very important to me and doing so with the NSA would be the greatest honor. My wife and I have been fortunate enough to travel the country in my military service and are excited about the chance to settle down and raise our two young daughters in a stable community. They are the world to us and I'm having so much fun as they enter school and get involved in Girl Scouts and activities. We love the outdoors and hobbies like biking, hiking, and camping. I'm an avid tent camper and love to pass this passion along to my family."
