Qualify for the GL-07 level or the GL-09 level.Possess a current valid driver’s license.Applicants with veterans’ preference must be at least 21 years of age and younger than 40 at the time of receipt of a conditional offer of employment to continue in the application process. Be at least 21 years of age at time of application and younger than 37 at the time of receipt of a conditional offer of employment to continue in the application process.Unfortunately, it has been well publicized that the current operational tempo has contributed to the departure of experienced agents ( especially those with families ), as many have grown tired of the unrelenting pace.
For a realistic preview of the job, I encourage all to read this article written by former SA William Gage. In general, a new SA can expect to travel all over the world, be in the center of political events and hold responsibility for securing high profile assets. The Investigative mission is limited in scope and always takes a back seat to Protective responsibilities. Those Presidential Detail positions are reserved for experienced SA's that have proven themselves over years of hard work.
Also, despite what you may have seen in the movies, the chances of a new SA being anywhere near the President are extremely remote. New special agents should expect extensive travel, mandatory overtime, post standing assignments and an ops oriented mission that routinely involves shift work. The Secret Service is aggressively hiring entry level special agents with a realistic preview & emphasis on the primary Protective Mission.
