Additional Differentiators
World Travel: Get out of the country. Study abroad or just travel. This will undoubtedly come up during your application and/or interview process. This demonstrates your willingness and ability to leave the comforts of home and learn about new cultures. If you serve in the clandestine service for any of the major agencies, you will spend a lot of time away from home.
Military/Police Background: This is certainly not a pre-requisite for the job (sans a few), but it not only checks off the experience block, but demonstrates experience in a job where chain of command is king, while also bringing valuable training that may apply to your position in the community.
