The British SIS Is Hiring


http://www.sis.gov.uk/output/virtualtour/index.html

A UK newspaper ran a prominent article, regarding an SIS employment drive for British citizens (Secret Intelligence Service).

While, I've never wanted to be a spy, but due to my family's history of working in politics and government, such articles always catch my eye. The SIS's virtual tour is even covert, saying a lot, while saying so little.

The British SIS is a very private government group, committed to protecting the United Kingdom, as is MI5 and MI6.

Protecting and serving one's nation is admirable, but I must concede, such jobs must be difficult at times, due to the inability to share the nature of one's work with family and friends. It's just as well, as it would endanger them, making them a target for criminals.
