Becoming a secret service agent isn’t something everyone can do. It’s a job for only the smartest, quick-witted people. Do you think there are no agents in Nigeria? The fact that you can’t see them, shows how good they are.
That’s not to say it is impossible but if you want to be an agent, especially a 007 agent, there are some criteria you must meet.
- Cool Factor
This is one of the most important things to have to be a secret service agent. Have you ever seen James Bond look uncool? Never! Having an air of composure regardless of what is happening around you is vital. No one would see you as an agent if you jump at the slightest scary sound.
- Stay Fit
Chasing bad guys is never easy so you have to be able to keep up. We’ve really never seen an agent with a potbelly, and we know some secret service guys. Regular exercise keeps you in shape and helps you fight the enemy. Even on your off days, anything can happen, so you always have to be ready.
- Know Your Gadgets
As a secret service agent, you will have access to all kinds of weaponry, and you need to know how to use them. Safety for yourself and the people around you is important. Not knowing how to properly use a weapon can get the people you love hurt.
- High Alcohol Tolerance
As an agent, you will have to go for meetings and drink with all manner of people to glean intel or keep an eye on possible traitors. You can’t let your quarry drink you under the table. Naturally, the only drink worthy of an agent is a martini, served shaken, not stirred, of course.
- Wear Tailored Clothing
Never to be caught unfresh, an agent always looks good. Check any spy movie, agents wear the best-tailored pantsuits and tuxedos. James Bond wouldn’t be caught dead in some chinos. If your fashion game isn’t there yet, maybe you need to rethink your future secret service agent dreams.
- Channel Your Inner Racer
What’s an agent story without a good old fashioned car chase? It’s not enough to know how to drive, you need to be able to execute crazy turns and car drifts all at high speed. Don’t worry, your agent status gives you immunity from LASTMA and any other road officials.
- Study Your Predecessors
The greatest always learn from those who came before them. You need to know all the tricks of the trade if you want to become a world-class agent. Who else to study but one of the greatest agents in the world – James Bond, 007 himself.
