Q: What are the qualifications needed to work at DOI?
A: The qualifications depend on the specific position. Generally, Investigator positions require a baccalaureate degree or previous investigative experience; Auditor positions require a degree with a minimum of 24 credits in Accounting or Auditing; Attorney positions require graduation from law school. However, in all cases, we have many more applicants than available positions so that not everyone with the minimum requirements will be called for an interview. Any experience above the minimum, including any paid or unpaid intern experience, should be included in the resumes.

Q: I am a college student interested in doing an internship at DOI. How do I apply?
A: DOI accepts a number of students during each of the Summer, Fall and Spring semesters for internships.
