MI6

[wizard]

How do you join MI6? Im not saying I want to join but I was just curious as MI5 have a much different approach!

M16 not yet built. Try A16 from top of A1 to Boston, Louth and Grimsby if you want a different approach.

LOL, i hope that was a joke.

I think MI5's more open recruitment approach, on the website etc, is a PR thing (trying to reduce the public perception of James Bond secret spying) as much as it is a way of getting new employees. MI6 is supposed to be the higher level version of MI5, so perhaps you can get to work at MI6 once you've worked at MI5 for a bit. The nature of the work means it's most probably internal promotion than external recruitment. Then again it might be really easy to get a job there, it's just nobody's allowed to talk about it once they get a job, so we don't know. It could be as easy as phoning up for an interview. I'll give them a ring and see what they say....

They also come under different Departments of State.MI6 is The Foreign Office and MI5 is The Home Office. So if you want to join MI6 write to the personnel dept.at the Foreign Office.

Glad someone`s on my wavelength. I was beginning to despair at some questions on this site. Hope you get a serious answer.
