[TriLUG] Job Posting: Cleared LINUX Sys Admins

[Dale VanWagner]

That is correct.  Some clearances - especially TS - are expensive (for the client) and time consuming (for everyone) to obtain.  That's why it's always preferred to find someone who has an active clearance, although it's not always possible to find that.  

 

It is possible to start a job and just do non-cleared work while the clearance is being processed.  That happens sometimes.

 

Thanks for all the advice.  

 

Dale

Clearances do not disappear once you leave the job, they have an 
expiration date. Certain parts of certain clearances are removed but 
the base clearance remains. 

It is not easier to get a clearance based on the fact you had one in 
the past. You always start from 0. 
It is not easier to get a higher clearance if you have a lower one. 
You have to have a need to know. 

If you are having trouble finding cleared people in Raleigh, advertise 
in Fayetteville.
