Woke applicants welcome.
Photographer: Pool/Hulton ArchiveIn one of the greatest marketing coups in the U.S. government history, the CIA has succeeded at one of the most difficult tasks facing any organization, public or private: It has produced a viral video.
Some wags on Twitter are referring to the video as "Woke James Bond." The narrative presents a Latina woman — and employee of the Central Intelligence Agency — with two children, describing herself as a "cisgender Millennial," a "woman of color," "intersectional," and also suffering from generalized anxiety disorder. Not exactly the portrait of a spy from a Robert Ludlum novel.
