Because people who worked for the CIA have resumes too. Do you think they all have cover jobs? Sure, some do, but most people don't. I've worked for a number of defense intelligence agencies. In my case, indirectly via commercial entities, but it's not hard to read between the lines. We dealt with classified information, but the fact that I worked for them isn't classified, and the nature of the projects isn't classified. I put this all on my resume, and so does almost everyone else who works in intelligence. It's just another career.
