Hi students,


We received a call today from a SIPA alumnus who is working at the State Department­.  He asked us to pass along the following informatio­n to anyone who will be applying for jobs in the federal government­, since all would require a background investigat­ion and in some instances a security clearance.

The documents released during the past few months through Wikileaks are still considered classified documents. He recommends that you DO NOT post links to these documents nor make comments on social media sites such as Facebook or through Twitter. Engaging in these activities would call into question your ability to deal with confidenti­al informatio­n, which is part of most positions with the federal government­.


Regards,
Office of Career Services
