I had sort of parallel experience: I didn't go to the CIA, but did my school externship at a 4-star New York restaurant. That experience opened doors for me that would probably otherwise have been closed.

Having CIA on your resume will probably get you an interview. But how you present yourself in the interview, and how well you perform on the trail (if they are still interested in you after the interview) are what will get you hired. The skills you bring with you, how well you learn on the job, and how well you do what you are told to do are all what will let you keep that job.
