How do I get a Job as a CSI?
480387
Looking on the web, I would suggest that you look towards doing a College/University course in Forensic Science, as this appears to be the general requirement of the job.

Get hired by a Police Department, get a few years under your belt doing police work, get some recognition for doing a good job and then get yourself promoted (or transferred) into one of the detective units to learn about being an investigator.  After doing all this over a span of several years, you might be ready for a spot in the SVU.  Good luck and have patience.

You will need, at a minimum, a Bachelors degree (or coursework equivalent) in a physical science such as chemistry, biology or physics. Coursework should be heavy on chemistry and ideally include microscopy and statistics. \nWhether or not you pursue a graduate degree or a degree specifically in forensic science should be based on your personal situation and preferences.\n\nSchools offering degrees in forensic science can be found through these Forensic Education Links \nYou may be interested in one of the non-accredited forensic science courses we offer on-line or through the Univesity of California at Berkeley Extention. For more information go to Classes in Forensic Science \n\n4-6 years depending if you go through masters.

"Becoming a Crime Scene Investigator"\nhttp://www.crime-scene-investigator.net/becomeone.html\n\n"Some positions require you have a 4 year degree in science while others only require a GED or High School graduation. Generally, if you want to work in a crime laboratory as a Criminalist you will need at least a 4 year degree in science (such as Biology or Chemistry). If you want to be a Crime Scene Technician you usually need less formal education. Some agencies require you be a sworn police officer before becoming a Crime Scene Investigator."

I am in the same boat. What I have heard is while it helps higher national agencies prefer specialization in other subjects, international relations helps a lot. I have heard they also like it if you are in a cj honor society. It will help you be more likely for higher positions in general police, corrections, etc work. What helps THE most is getting experience, if you are not like me and have the time take an intership, try to go as high as you can. Its very competitive but CIA has a program for students but for the program you have to go there...

Training to Become a Forensic Scientist \n\nThere are two main elements in the training required to become a general forensic scientist. The first involves academic courses, and the second, on-the-job training usually with one of the main suppliers of primary services to police. \n\nAcademic requirements:\n\nRequirements in respect of academic qualifications depend on the ultimate goal. For instance, to become an assistant forensic scientist or equivalent or a technical specialist, you are likely to need at least four good passes at GCSE including English and either science (Biology/Chemistry) or Maths, and at least one A level in a science subject. To become a case-reporting forensic scientist and/or a forensic science researcher, you will usually require at least a good first degree in Biology, Chemistry or related subject, followed up, in many cases, by a postgraduate/MSc qualification in forensic science or direct employment. \n\nTraining on-the-job:\n\nOn-the-job training tends to be best catered for by suppliers of forensic science services to police and other law enforcement agencies as it is in these organisations that there is the breadth and depth of casework to provide the necessary experience. Such training generally includes a combination of specialist in-house courses and practical casework - all forming part of a professional apprenticeship

not necessarily, but a college degree (especially in criminology) will increase your chances of getting hired. however, you CAN apply for it, if you are at least a high school graduate. my uncle is a police officer, he didn't graduate college but he WAS in college -- he studied, then quit. \ntry taking some criminology classes in a community college -- so that you will gain information about the career. and good luck

1. Where do what to work? Look up their web site and see what they require you may have enough credits to apply.\n2. Wait until they are excepting new recruits fill out an intrest form.\n3. Go test and see if you make it into their academy.

Basic education requirements will vary depending on the branch of forensic science you wish to enter.  In general, a degree in chemistry with at least 25 semester hours including quant, inorganic qual, instrumental and p-chem would be advantageous.  If you wish to go into the biology area (DNA) a comparable biology degree, with genetics, biochemistry and population statistics is a minimum.  A masters is preferable.\n\nAs a previous contributor noted, the real world forensic laboratory is NOT anything like CSI.  Most forensic scientists rarely leave the laboratory.  The vast majority of forensic scientists are NOT sworn law enforcement officers, although there are a few labs that still have sworn personnel.\n\nFor the most part a degree in Forensic Science is not much of an advantage and often does not provide the basic education needs of a forensic scientist.  A very solid physical science BS degree, plus a number of debate or speech type classes is what I look for when I am hiring new forensic scientists in our system.

It depends on the department they work for, along with the job title and specifications. CSI isn't a nationwide title, and some forensic duties are carried out by police.

Well, one of my specialties is as a forensic document examiner.  I work on contract with a lot of people in law enforcement and most of them consider their work to be pretty mundane!  It's not the kind of thing you see on T.V. So if you're thinking of a career in some branch of forensic science, be prepared to spend a lot of time standing around, taking notes, and performing a good deal of laboratory work.  When I take a contract job my tools are a microscope, a scanner, and a computer.  \n\nHowever, compared to direct market sales or working in an insurance agency this stuff is pretty cool.  There are many pathways you can take, from a crime scene specialist all the way up to a medical examiner or a police detective/FBI agent.  It all depends on how good you are at science and how much schooling you want to deal with.  With a B.A. in criminal justice or biology or some related field you could be a crime scene specialist.  A lot of the training is on the job - in fact there is no degree for document analysis. \n\nCrime scene work pays the least and it can get pretty gross, but if you want to be in the big middle of an investigation, there you go.  From there on up you have other tiers of work.  You could get a degree and become a cop or apply for admission to the FBI.  This requires a lot more schooling and excellent grades.  You could also get an M.A. or a PhD in a field like physical anthropology and work as a forensic anthropologist.  This work is very cool but also very competitive.  Forensic psychology is another good field, but these areas that are highly specialized require a lot of schooling.  For instance I'm 32 and still working on my PhD.  \n\nIt depends on your aptitude for science and education.  Take a look at how much of that you're willing to handle and go from there!

Having an undergraduate degree is not mandatory, but is highly recommended. Life experiences are taken into consideration. However, a standard requirement for overseas officers, intelligence analysts, and other non-clerical positions is a college degree, preferably an advanced degree.\n\nhttp://www.cia.gov/employment/faq.html#m1\n\nBasic Requirements for All CIA Positions\nBefore seeking any position with the CIA, you should know that the following requirements will apply: \n\nU.S. Citizenship is required. The CIA does not assist individuals in applying for US citizenship. \n\nSuccessful completion of a thorough medical examination, a polygraph interview and an extensive background investigation\n\n\nFor more information visit http://usgovinfo.about.com/library/weekly/aa071899.htm and http://federaljobs.net/ciajobs.htm

Honestly, the "easiness" of getting in depends on whether you get the kind of job where you can tell people "I work for the CIA" or you tell people "I'm a systems analyst & I travel a lot" (wink wink).\n\nIf you want to submit an application:\nhttp://cia.gov/employment/index.html\n\nCIA career FAQ:\nhttp://cia.gov/employment/faq.html\n\nHave a good time!
