Why in gods name would they openly admit there looking for spys? lol You'd think if they wanted spys so badly they'd 'groom' and program them from birth for such a purpose in life.. every other nation does.. Are they getting -THAT- desperate now? lol Do they need to learn what behavioural modification and remote nueral influencing is? Obviously this isnt the case but still.. the brits are a funny bunch..

Every other nation does not raise children from birth to be spies. Where did you hear that In most countries its largely depended on talent-spotting by trusted university professors or scouts in the Military. Its mainly done at a university or military level so they can see people that have reached a stage where the skills needed for a potential spying career are revealed. Your not going to pick that up in a Pre-K class.

I still think these job opportunities that they are offering aren't the one which you might think of such as secret agents and spies like what they stated. I don't think you'd come to them with your resume and tell them "I want to be spy!woohooo!" right? They're probably just going to take you lightly and if you're lucky you'd get to be their receptionist.

Look at how spies and secret agents have been hired in the past long before they advertise such offers--discreetly and clandestinely. So I wouldn't put much hope on such offers.

If you are what they want, they'll come to you and not the other way round.

P.S: Good luck anyway for those trying.
