The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking for a few good men and women in Georgia - not as fugitives, but rather to join the force.
It's the largest FBI recruiting effort since the terror attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001.
FBI Special Agent Steve Lazarus of the Atlanta Field Office says that while he couldn't provide figures of how may spots were in Georgia, he said the agency employs over 30,000 personnel nationwide, and that 13,000 of them were gun and badge-carrying agents.
The law-enforcement agency's posted openings for over 2,000 positions nationwide; from accountants and auto mechanics, to nurses, linguists and cyberspooks.
Eight hundred and fifty of the spots are for special agents.
"I'm finding from my students that are going out there for employment; that even though this is a very, very tough time, that many agencies are experiencing vacancies because there's this new mandate to do something about terrorism, and -- their established workforce -- many of them are reaching the retirement age."The agency has 56 field offices nationwide.
Lazarus said applicants should apply through the agency's website, and not call the Atlanta office.
