Not exactly. Lots of people still look at me with the deer-in-the-headlights look when I mention monster.com. They have recently added a new field for government security clearances that employers can enter into their search criteria.

While I'm at it, I wanted to plug one more website.
www.intelligencecareers.com

Don't be fooled by the name, though they primarily recruit for intel jobs. They have a wide variety of positions for cleared personnel.

Happy Hunting!

Too bad they dont have one of those for aviation.

There's no reason to "BTT" a tacked thread.

No big deal. Actually, by posting, it does bump it back to the top if you're searching using the "Active Topics" menu. So, there is some value to a BTT.

Question for anyone that may be able to answer. I had a Secret security clearance when I retired. Does anyone know how long that will be good for after retiring? I don't suspect it will be good much longer afterwards, but I've seen a few jobs that are looking for people with a security clearance. I'm guessing that it wouldn't take much for a company to re-open one that was closed recently.

the general rule is finding employment that is willing to sponsor your clearance within 2 years of being debriefed from your last job that required it. They need to get the process started within 2 years or it's in a sense dead.

Your Military clearence is good for 24 months AFTER you leave the service, not from the last time you held a job that required it.

Once you are hired and you have a civilian clearance your military clearance drops dead and the civilian company "owns" your clearance.

but it is basically the same....you dont have to do anything ...it just carries over. the only time you'd have to do anything would be if you had to upgrade your clearance from say a secret to a TS...THEN there would have to be another investigation done...otherwise...you notice no change. as long as the clearance is being used, it does not expire.

Any one know how a Infantry NCO/sniper instructor could find a private security job in mid east. I am looking for information on pay and requirments but the problem i'm having is Iam not close enof to my ETS date for the companys to talk to me and I'm going to Iraq soon and when i get back i'll only have a mounth or so till I get out so i want to find something befor i go or at least Know i'll qualify. any help would be great Thanks.

Hey, fellas. I'm not a vet, but would like to start off my post by collectively thanking y'all for your service.

Here are three that [obviously] don't hire vets exclusively, but should be on any vets job-hunting radar:

1) Essentially the "clearinghouse" for all federal jobs (though they're still not at 100% yet):
www.usajobs.opm.gov/

2) Army's civvy hiring wing:
cpol.army.mil/index.html

3) Navy's same:
chart.donhr.navy.mil/

There are other sites for CIA, NASA, etc, etc, etc - but (always depending on your interests, MOS, and any other skills, of course) these three should offer you the most bang for your buck*.

Best,

Jake.


* i.e. They are all "free," but time is money and it takes at least a nominal amt of time to sign up and/or register at any job site.

P.S. Always use both the appropriate schedule and any associated locality adjustments when calculating salary, but you folks already know that! Here's a helpful link for that: www.opm.gov/oca/05tables/index.asp

P.P.S. Hey, Styk. Sorry to have missed you and Tex this past weekend, but it was something of a suicide trip. Those beer and wings sounded mighty tempting, but the new "head of household" was awfully cranky. Her schedule was thrown off by all the travelling and she hadn't slept or napped well in over three days at that point. FWIW, Joe's dad, Fred, does helo work at CCAD, but I have no idea what he makes. Either IM me or get my email add from Tex and I'll get you his contact info if you just want someone to shoot the shit w/ during "downtime" or before work.

If you have aviation experiance or an A&P try to google "jet job's. It's a good rag with
lots of aviation jobs

Any former Marines coming to the SE Michigan area, plz contact me. If you are looking for a non-serivce related type work, I may be able to help you.
