Is the FBI lenient towards someone who has a disability? I have a physical disability where I was born without some facial features but I had surgeries to make up for that. I also have hearing loss but a hearing aid that makes up fully for my hearing loss. I am almost done with my Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice then I am pursuing my Masters in Homeland Security. I am a straight A student and have solid experience working for Law Firms and currently I am working as an Accountant at age 25. I want to be successful, but I do have my worries and doubts that my physical disability will prevent me from doing so. It seems like I am able to get interviews but once I walk through the doors, I do feel the pressure of being judged. Ultimately, my goal is to work for the FBI or in a role serving the Government. Please help!

Government will do backflips to employ someone with disabilities. FBI might land you a desk job.

My reply will sound flippant, and probably uncaring. I do not imply for it to sound that manner. Face to stand it would not, however I worry it is going to translate poorly in written kind. Many individuals with ailments, aliments and disabilities come on right here, ask approximately becoming a member of the army. Then must realize anything. No subject what your activity is within the army, you constantly have the likelihood for use as a grunt. If you've got a situation that inhibits your effectiveness in subject stipulations, they are not able to use you. Field stipulations. Picture a tenting commute that final for 6 months to a yr. With plenty of bodily paintings, below often detrimental stipulations, and often in a chemical atmosphere. Basically, stipulations in which bodily boundaries and scientific stipulations may also be largely annoyed, even come to be existence threatening, and the capability for others to paintings round the ones stipulations is approximately 0. Take your one situation, listening to. Lets make up a tale approximately that. You become a member of the army, they enable you to move via with deficient listening to, in view that you'll be able to use listening to aids. You come to be a workplace employee, taking good care of budgets, and staff files, subject obligation isn't anything you do. Then, the crap hits the fan in a few faraway 3rd international nation, and we install forces to a naked base atmosphere. You get deployed. It's tent town, out within the boonies, and whilst you're employed in a air conditioned tent with a pc, it's nonetheless subject stipulations. You additionally get to dig subject latrines, fill sand luggage, construct bunkers, submit cammo netting, additionally kinds of army tasks that experience not anything to do with workplace paintings. One of your extra tasks is to face defend obligation with a rifle at night time, offering inner base protection. You seem and LISTEN for dangerous men. But, it's been 3 months in view that you final used to be capable to put your palms on any batteries in your listening to help, which ain't operating valued at a darn in any case in view that you as soon as dropped it within the dust and stepped on it by chance. Okay, wild tale, however now not past the area of probabilities. So individuals with velocity makers, center stipulations, bronchial asthma, a wide variety of disorders that would not prohibit their capability to position in a typical international, do not realize why they are not able to become a member of the army. That's in view that the army can take you right into a "now not so typical" international truly fast. They consider "I'm now not gonna be infantry, so why cannot I get in with (what ever)?". So this isn't simply directed to you. I particularly respect your willingness to serve. I wish the pleasant for you. I most likely did not imply to lecture or speak right down to you. Just felt anybody with a wish to serve, (which such a lot of lack) need to accept extra then only a "no", however a "no, and here's why". Best of good fortune, have a excellent day.
