Will having a tattoo on my neck disqualify me from getting a job with the FBI or DEA?

It will definately make your employer double think hiring you.

First, there's no rules about certain tattoos being prohibited.  Second, what happens with drug testing is this.  If you fail the first drug test, a letter is sent out to you telling you that you didn't pass.  You come back in another 4-5 days and are tested again.  If you don't pass the second test, you are not eligibile again for 2 years.  As far as being colorblind, if you fail the first test, then have to take a Falant test (a second test for colorblindness).  If they take the Falant test and fail that too, they're NOT disqualified from the service, they just won't be able to apply for certain jobs like an air traffic control, etc.

I would say yes, Usually those tests are based solely on the use of drugs regardless if you used them legally or not.  Employers don't want stoners.  You can be refused a job for any reason that is not discriminatory in nature based on race, religion, age and sex.

Explain to them why you want to do it.  As long as you're not shaving your head to put some disgusting  tatoo on it, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?

FBI are equal opportunity employers. So you can get in if you qualify.

I'm sure it's possible.  I have no idea what's involved except the need to have lots of money.  And I'd think you'd risk talking to an FBI agent before you'd actually find a real mercenary.  In other words, give up the idea.  It's illegal.  You'll get caught.

A felon can get any job he or she is qualified for as long as you disclose the fact that you are a felon on your application.  You have to be upfront about it. Hiding it will get your application tossed in the trash.  State reasons why you would be an asset to that company.  Remember to state how you are not that person anymore, and you have been rehabilitated and won't be getting into any more trouble - and then stick to it! \n\nIt is against the law to not hire someone based solely on the fact that they are a felon, but of course it happens anyway. If you get the interview after they read on your app that you are a felon, you have a fair employer and a good shot at the job.  Be honest though so as not to waste your time with a potential employer who would not hire you.  If you get the interview and you're qualified for the job and present yourself in a professional manner you have just as much chance at any job as anyone. \n\ngood luck

You should apply if this experience will promote your career.  By not applying, you would be serving no purpose to the convicted, nor to yourself

Yes.  But be sure you are not interested in any position that involves security clearance.  If you get married to a felon, it could limit your ability to move up the ranks since it might affect your ability to get approval to do some military tasks.

Unless you are going for some federal positions experimental use of pot is completely acceptable. Contrary to what most people above have stated- DO NOT deny it or play dumb, agencies don't care if smoked a joint in high school, they want to know that your being honest, and if you have to go up angainst a polygraph, they will try to verify past criminal activities including drug use. And before people start putting out retarded "how to beat a lie detector" solutions here, don't bother, you won't beat it, and it's easier to just tell the truth, especially with something as minor as a little weed a decade ago.

My opinion - if there were no tattoo specifications at the time of hire, I would say that the tattoo should be grandfathered (allowed under the "old rules").  However, if the tattoo is visible and distracts from the company image, causes a hostile work environment (such as naked lady) then the tattoo would be inappropriate, and grounds for some type of compromise.

My dad believes that sooner or later we will have a barcode invisibly tattoo'd on our skin. All barcodes have two thin lines at the beginning, middle and end, and elsewhere in barcodes two thin lines signifies number 6. These barcodes will be connected to a database which will give your ID and credit info.\n\nI believe that may happen, but it is more likely to be a computer chip embedded in our skin. \n\nPlease say no to anything like this, particularly if they want to put it in your hand, forearm or forehead.

it is not a short path, but this is how I did it. Get on to a local law enforcement dept, then once you are on and certified, push to become a firearms instructer for the dept, and start applying to the FBI or CIA right away. No matter what federal agency you are applying for, they will want at least a bachelors deg. and usually 5"ish" yrs of law enforcement OR military experience. Don't get dissapointed you will get turned down probably the first 2 times you apply, but that is pretty much how they do it, myself, my buddies in other agencies all went through the same. good luck

It wouldn't matter to me if the FBI is doing just what you're asking about.  Expressing my opinion is far from showing intent.  I may hate things about the government and it is my right to say that I hate them.  But to get into trouble because I express opinions is a far cry from proving that I intend to do anything against it.  Let the FBI watch and moniter all it wants.  I answer questions and express attitudes everywhere with a clear conscience.

I'm not positive but I think before you do the actual test you have to fill out a form that asks you to list anything in your system that would make a false positive.  List it there.  \n\nHonesty is the best policy, if you are prescribed the drug, then it is legal and they cannot disqualify your application based on that.\n\nAlthough, if you are currently going through Methadone treatments I would say that is "iffy" territory.  Also, prescribed medicinal Marijuana is also "iffy territory.  Not to me, but I can see a potential employer raising an eyebrow or two.\n\nAnd YES, they do have the right to share all that info with your future employer.  I believe you actually sign off on that before the tests.

only if you insist on working for someone else the rest of your life.\ni used to be the guy with the suit & tie. i got busted at a legalize pot rally when i was 22. the court scared me into going allong with whatever they said. later, i was in county jail, bored, my choice was bad romance books or legal research. i became a jailhouse lawyer & got pretty savy on texas 78th legislature. i stopped including my info on resumes & nobody seemed to care. it hasnt affected me at all since 1998 when my probation let out. i had the  most trouble with day to day life during probation because im expected to be at meetings, classes, service, ect jobs be damned. there alot of cliches but its all excuses to keep me in their loop. my po would revoke because he felt like it saying i was behind on payments or didnt go to a class. ive since stopped asking people if i can work for them & work for myself. not because of my convictions but because its a better life.

If you have no accident or personal injury to another attached to the D.U.I.,then they won't cross state lines to nail you. I know because I live one state away from the state I was busted for back in 1986. They don't care if I am here nor are they trying to get me. I have quit drinking a long time ago!!!!!
