Euphemistic spook job adverts

Just spotted this little gem on the MI5 Careers website.
Electronic Installation Technicians
"Part of a small team in a workshop environment, you will be working with a wide range of vehicles, installing electronic and communications devices."
I can't imagine what that's all about! Only pays up to 22K as well. Shocking.

From the CIA website:
OPERATIONS OFFICER (Clandestine Positions)
“For the extraordinary individual … It demands an adventurous spirit... a forceful personality... toughness of mind... and the highest degree of integrity. It takes special skills and professional discipline to produce results.
You will need to deal with fast-moving, ambiguous, and unstructured situations that will test your resourcefulness to the utmost. “

Any member of the UK electorate could apply for this one given the grounding we’ve had under nu-lab regime of the past ten years.

I'd of thought they would have had suitable candidates to promote from within and not have to advertise "clandestine positions".

They could just be bound by the equal opportunities law on employemnt I guess.
