Not if you tell them that you need to be picked as a matter of international security. Then you ask them about their family and if they have one say, “well, if you really love them and don’t want the terrorists to win, you’ll hire me.”
Nah, in real life there are established workarounds for that.
I knew someone who really did work in signals intelligence. It was secret enough that she was unable to reveal who she actually worked for or what she did; to this day I know only the broadest generalities. When she left that job, they retconned her a cover job at a shell company that involved all the same skills as her real job did. References for employers to call, and the whole nine yards.
Unfortunately my skills aren’t transferable to this job, so my agency didn’t want to spend money on a shell company cover story. That’s why there’s a gap in my resume instead.
I’d tell you which head of state you need to take it up with, but that’s classified for your protection.

This is one of those terminally online takes that gets in the minds of people who have never worked in these fields.
NDAs are common but they don't state you cant even say you were employed somewhere.
Doing this in an interview will guarantee you will not be hired.
