Have you watched a TV program or movie recently (like I have) that featured catching the bad guys or uncovering valuable information, using a new type of forensics concerned with computers and electronic devices? Did you say to yourself, “Wow that’s cool!” But, then remember it was only a TV program/movie? 

 

Imagine my surprise when a HR Recruiter for the District Attorney’s Office contacted me to discuss the opening in the desert for an IT Forensic Examiner II position.   Come to find out that we have a whole job series (from Examiner I to III) in this specialty area and they do everything you see on TV and more. At the Forensic Examiner II level, these Super Sleuths earn up to $75,829.31 annually; add to that our unbeatable benefits package and you have a very substantial career level, with opportunity for promotion. 

 

I guess at this point schools are not turning out graduates to meet the demand, so experienced people are difficult to find.  We even do some of our own training at the IT Forensic Examiner I level. 

 

So, if you run into someone with this background (who isn’t an actor), let them know about our desert position. Tell them we need someone to take a bite out of crime (there has to be a pun in there somewhere, maybe they will get it).
