The old-fashioned ways that hires the agents of the MI6

And who hasn’t dreamed of living like James Bond? To wear a tux, playing poker with the bad, leading the wonderful…
Aston Martin and the girls bunch to run after him?
The issue however is who has the qualifications to become a spy, moving behind the scenes, to make all these dark πρακτόρικα, saving the country and probably around the world?
In case you haven’t heard, the british MI6 is recruiting new members and has come out on the hunt, as is says under-staffed and not enough agents.
The director of the MI6, Alex Younger, restores the old method of recruitment with the tap on the shoulder, since I don’t have the people it wants and is forced to resort to the help of his agents.
Which means that members of MI6 criss-cross England as we speak, and strike passwords people on the shoulder, tempting them to enter the dark and mysterious world of espionage.
And they’re looking more for people of minorities (black and Asian) than for Οξφορδιανούς with the familiar attitude that we’re used to the cinema. Although, as Alex Younger, it takes a lot more than a good sign to be an agent of MI6.
As confessed in the “Guardian” the Younger, who goes by the code name “C”: “we Need to go out and ask these people to join our ranks. Before we even service, this was the only way to recruit new members, a hit to the shoulder. This was the way I was recruited, too. We have to go to people who would never expect that to work in MI6. We need to make a conscious effort. We need to reflect the society in which we live”.
As noted, however snide one commentator on Facebook: “Hit a stranger on the shoulder in London and you will stab yourself in the moment”. So good luck with that, MI6.
The most interesting point of the interview was, however, the confession of the head of the british intelligence that Daniel Craig would have never gotten in the MI6! As he said himself, not looking for people that look like the actor, nor even in the “Daniel Craig on steroids”. “There is a perception out there that we’re looking for the Daniel Craig or Daniel Craig on steroids. Didn’t get in the MI6,” said the C.
