Hi all! I find this forum to be so helpful; I've been keeping up with it for about a year now (I'll be done with my MLIS in another year), and I'm looking around at all kinds of libraries and non-library information jobs. I found one offered by the CIA, called an "Information Review and Release Analyst." It's not currently up on their site anymore, so I pasted some of the job description below--what I'm really interested in, is hearing from someone who is an IRR, or who knows what this job is like on a day-to-day basis. I work best under fast-paced, challenging environments that have some variety when it comes to analytic tasks. From the job description given, it was difficult for me to tell if this job fit that description, or if this would generally be a desk assignment that processed the same kinds of information every day. Thanks for any of your insights!
