Good advert placement in this morning's METRO newspaper with MI5 recruiting for Data Analysis and IT Security. I'm not surprised. Anyone who has been watching Spooks on BBC TV on Sunday evenings will know that the resident data analyst, Tariq Masood, was bumped off a couple of weeks ago by a CIA agent (we think) wielding a poison-tipped cucumber or similar. Tariq was a genius at analysing data and could always be called upon to come up with precise information about anyone, anywhere in the world. In fact, so good was he that you'd think the department would have been stuffed without him. Not so by all appearances, and last night they were still managing to trace very short phone calls to precise locations in double-quick time.
Whether the advertised role is to to get involved with similar work, or to check and chase-up outstanding invoices is unclear; perhaps that's a question to be asked at interview.
