With the job market lacking, there is a high chance you might be looking for something to do. You want to put food on the table, pay rent or be able to purchase that 1967 Chevy Impala you've always wanted. Well, you can choose to work for the NSA, granted you have the ability to decode the NSA's secret messages.
It's a new way of recruiting new people, though we are not sure if it is good enough because decoding the message seem quite easy for some. The following is the NSA's original message along with the message decoded in English for us normal people to understand.

"Want to know what it takes to work at NSA? Check back each Monday as we explore careers essential to protecting your nation," the unencrypted post said.
Interesting enough, we did not have to hire any special person to help us decode this message. We simply copy and pasted the message in a box at a website known as quipqiup. It's a lot like the many language translator websites where a user copy and then paste something in Spanish to see what it says in English.
"NSA is known as the code makers and code breakers," says NSA spokesperson to PCMag. "The NSA Careers Twitter feed's focus is to educate and alert our followers of career opportunities at NSA."
If the NSA is truly looking to grab some of the smartest people out there, then next time the agency should think about making the next code a lot more difficult to decipher.
Come this Monday, we should have an idea of what the NSA is planning, and if the agency will release another code to decipher. One thing is certain that it is quite strange to see the NSA turning to Twitter for new employees and only time will tell if this works out.
