This free, online event will allow registered job seekers to learn about available IC jobs, including NSA careers, interact with recruiters online, and apply to open positions from the comfort of their homes.

“We’re excited to be able to use the latest information technology to ‘virtually’ reach out to talented applicants across the Nation and let them know about the exciting career opportunities here at NSA and across the IC,” said NSA Human Resources director Kathy Hutson.
