The FBI is looking for a few good linguists.
The federal law enforcement agency is holding a job fair in Salt Lake City for people fluent in English and a foreign language, including but not limited to Arabic (Yemeni and Sudanese dialects), Mandarin Chinese, Hebrew, Farsi, Pashto, Somali and Spanish. Applicants must be U.S. citizens.
The fair is set for Aug. 9 at the FBI's Salt Lake City office, 257 E. 200 South, with parking on the street, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Contract linguists are paid $29 to $41 an hour, the agency said.
Questions can be emailed to douglas.neel@ic.fbi.gov. More information is available at fbijobs.gov/linguists.
