 UK intelligence service, MI6 (home of James Bond) is searching for a Mac using forger to join the Queen’s Secret Service. The intelligence service needs someone with QuarkXPress and Adobe CS skills to create forged documents, currency and other publications for its secret agents.

The winning recruit will be given full spy training and an inflation-proof pension.

MI6 is hosting a recruitment ad on its website, promising a fascinating work environment at the organisation’s London headquarters.

“We're sure you'll understand that as an organisation that collects secret intelligence, we can't tell you a great deal about what you'll be doing,” the ad states. “You'll also benefit from very high-quality training in your specialist skills.”

The winning recruit will work within the Design and Print team of the organisation. And will be licensed to Mac, on the Queen’s business.

Maybe iPhone/Touch in movies soon.

I know most movies released are about a year old when actually filmed. I wonder how many movies coming soon will have iPhone/Touch all over the place. I think its a sure bet there will be one on the next Bond film. :-)

That's forgers, not foreigners.

Does the job include any

1317

Does the job include any 'sexing up' of already known false documents? I remember that not going so well in the past.

I have amazing photoshop 'sexing up' skills but there is that nagging thought that helping an intelligence agency create false information may lead to innocent deaths and global turmoil.

April Fool!

They need someone to create

1715

They need someone to create fake currency? Isn't it easier and safer to go across the street to the bank and get real currency? This sounds like a bunch of crap. It probably is a sting.

I don't think they need

1212

I don't think they need money forged, more like birth certificates from other countries, drivers license ect...

It's not the first time MI5 or MI6 have advertised for recruits in the paper. I assume it works or they wouldn't keep doing it.
