In summary, Government Communication Head Quarters is recruiting and applicants must crack a code to secure an interview. However, the agency's website specifies that only British citizens are eligible to apply, which may limit the pool of applicants. Some may find this process tedious and time-consuming, while others may resort to typing in random responses just to meet the deadline.

Government Communication Head Quarters (the little known arm of the intelligence service that gets far more funding than MI5 and MI6) is recruiting. All you have to do is crack the code and then you get an interview! Any takers :biggrin:?
