The Foreign Media Analyst (also findable under “analytical positions” in career section) job with the Central Intelligence Agency sounds excellent on its own merits – including a $48k-$95k pay scale. But I find two components of the ad particularly interesting:

• To be considered suitable for Agency employment, applicants must generally (!) not have used illegal drugs within the last twelve months. The issue of illegal drug use prior to twelve months ago is carefully evaluated during the medical and security processing.
  
  
• Friends, family, individuals, or organizations may be interested to learn that you are an applicant for or an employee of the CIA. Their interest, however, may not be benign or in your best interest. You cannot control whom they would tell. We therefore ask you to exercise discretion and good judgment in disclosing your interest in a position with the Agency.

Friday's career search resource is the job board hosted by the conservative/libertarian-leaning America's Future Foundation.
