The institution is looking for an operational officer/analyst, but the way they worded the ad is what sparked reactions from netizens
“You will not be in the spotlight, you will not know fame and gratitude. You won’t be able to brag about your achievements and maybe your achievements won’t be appreciated according to their importance”, is how they started their SRI ad.
They inform the prospective candidate that although the world will not know his identity, he will have the satisfaction of having done all he could for his country.
“When the curtain goes up and the spotlights go out, you’ll be among the actors who won’t get their well-deserved applause. Among the discreet ones who remain unseen and unknown to the general public.
But, at the end of the day, of the year, of your career, you will have the satisfaction of having done everything that depended on you for those you care about, for those who will never know your name, for Romania”the SRI also transmitted.
At the end of the post, they attached a link to sri.ro/cariere that leads to the list of fields to which they can apply, through the competition. The exam for the bachelor’s/master’s courses is organized by the National Academy of Information “Michael the Brave“. Candidates who must register by December 13 for bachelor’s courses, and by December 29 for master’s courses and must complete a form that can be found on the website.
The comments were not slow to appear, some appreciating the announcement, others joking about it.
“I’m not in the spotlight, I don’t know fame, nobody appreciates my work, I’m not praised. Well, I already have these!”one blogger commented.
“Nicely said! The problem is that today’s men have appointments for waxing, brushing, massage, make-up…they don’t have time for a career in SRI!”a woman said.
“You described an event organizer”adds another netizen.
The operative officer has the important mission of gathering information and for this he must be able to create access to the environments with relevance for national security, states the SRI.
Instead, the analyst officer evaluates data collected by operatives or other sources, covert or open, and identifies threats. Basically, he has the role of understanding the surrounding phenomena and anticipating their consequences.
