Job hunters should steer clear of WikiLeaks site

You have always had an interest in the U.S. government and the missions of the agencies that deal with national security and international affairs.

You even hope to work for the feds or serve in the military one day.

Then you find yourself - an avid reader and seeker of knowledge - face-to-face with the WikiLeaks Web site.

This rare look inside government operations could also cost you a potential security clearance.

What WikiLeaks has done is considered illegal in the United States. U.S. law says that whoever receives or obtains, or agrees or attempts to receive or obtain, from any person or any source having unauthorized possession of, access to, or control over any document or other materials relating to the national defense, or information the possessor has reason to believe could be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation, willfully communicates, delivers, transmits or causes to be communicated, delivered or transmitted or attempts to communicate, deliver, transmit or cause to be communicated, delivered, or transmitted the same to any person not entitled to receive it, or willfully retains the same and fails to deliver it to the officer or employee of the United States entitled to receive it, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both.

This is serious business across all government agencies and the military, where people have been ordered not to access the WikiLeaks Web site.

So what does this have to do with you, the federal job seeker? You are not working for the government, and you think accessing WikiLeaks is acceptable. But according to the government, it is not.

Although the information is in the public domain, it does not change the status of that information.

  1. The popularity of WikiLeaks is easy to explain – people love, loved and will always love secrets. Moreover, everyone feels special when he gets and access to somebody’s secrets. But curious people must ask themselves why this information is considered like a secret one. Maybe it’s because there is something regular individuals should not know? If I would be a federal job seeker, I would better checked where to find federal resume writing service to make a perfect resume than wasted time on WikiLeaks which is actually illegal. It’s worth being careful with such online resources.

  14. I agree that good language skills are necessary and that’s the reason students go for professional writing services for essays, assignments, and even for non-academic work, like resumes and cover letters. However, in my opinion, creative skills are just as important. I have language skills, but I don’t have ideation abilities. Hence, I am finding it so difficult to come up with History Research Paper Topics for my history dissertation. I hope there is a service for people like me.
