She agreed to appear in a video for the CIA's website
urging potential candidates to sign up. The website states that Garner's Alias
character "embodies the integrity, patriotism and intelligence the CIA looks
for in its officers". Garner, 31, was not paid for her appearance in the
advert. A CIA spokesman said: "She did this out of patriotism." One the

Garner says the agency needs staff from a diverse range of backgrounds and
with different talents." Right now, the CIA has important, exciting jobs for
US citizens, especially those with foreign language skills. Today, the
collection of foreign intelligence has never been more vital for national
security," Garner says. Agencies such as the CIA have been criticised since
the 11 September attacks on America for not having enough staff who could
speak Asian or Middle Eastern languages, which may have helped thwart attacks.

The CIA would exclusively hire those who belong to their inner circle. Politics play major role in selecting and hiring applicants.
Strangely enough, our sources at the Monthly Herald tell us that CIA was very reluctant to hire expert linguists for lack of funds. Even, when applicants were extremely qualified, hiring authorities at the CIA turned them down. There is a strong belief that CIA would exclusively hire those who belong to their inner circle. Politics play major role in selecting and hiring applicants. Many qualified persons in the past applied for linguists and languages experts jobs and were ignored. The fact is if you are not "one of them" with strong recommendations from Washington, your application and qualifications will end up in a waste basket. So stop kidding yourself.
