Scary news headline to read as an IT Consultant: "Thousands of information technology workers contracting with U.S. companies have for years secretly sent millions of dollars of their wages to North Korea for use in its ballistic missile program, FBI and Department of Justice officials said. (Christine Tannous/St. Louis Post-Dispatch via AP)" I don't know if LinkedIn new CLEAR (clearme.com) verification process is a helpful way to combat any concerns over hiring consultants but I completed the process just in case.

Quick message/tip for all the #jobseekers out there... In reference to obtaining clearance. If a job description does not specifically say "ability to obtain XXX clearance." Then the customer will not be sponsoring a clearance for that position. If you are looking for positions that may sponsor run a search for "ability to obtain" on a job board. #clearancejobs #transitioningveterans #governmentjobs #dodjobs #departmentofdefense #usclearance #dhsjobs #intelligencecommunity

Remember, if you are considering transitioning out of law enforcement or another aspect of the government, you are on your own time table (unless you aren't for some other reason). Take the time to research all the free resources out there like https://lnkd.in/ej6wUCQg | www.coptocorporate.com | The Next Shift with Jessica Flores | Corporate Security University with Scot W. and Carlos Francisco, CPP, CSSP | Read "So You Want To Get Into Corporate Security" on Amazon by Carlos Francisco, CPP, CSSP | Check out ASIS International's new transition tool spearheaded by Eric Kready, CPP | And so many more. Utilize your foremost strength which are your existing connections and have as many conversations as possible with people who have gone before you and who are now in the positions and companies you want to be in. Understand that there is no magic pill to obtain employment in the private sector. For most, it takes a hard work and an understanding that these things take time. Focus on your resume, Linkedin profile, and networking while also understanding that you have no idea where the job is going to come from, so do not put all your eggs in one basket. Finally, there is an army of people who have gone before you, and we stand ready to help you in any way we can. The #1 thing you can do wrong is not to ask for help. #lawenforcement #alwaysblue

Why are companies not willing to sponsor candidates for a secret clearance (T3) position? When I was an investigator they only cost around $450 to sponsor a clearance. I understand not sponsoring a top secret (T5), as those tend to be MUCH more, but according to the https://www.dcsa.mil/ website a secret clearance today is $345. Yes these are base prices and the longer a case goes on and the complexity of it, the more the price can rise. And trust me, I understand the allure of hiring transitioning service members/veterans. They are some of the most respectful, patient and professional individuals I came across. The amount of times I was called "sir" at the ages of 22-24 by all ranks, from enlisted up to the one general I interviewed, was eye opening. Yet, not being cleared shouldn't push companies away from a qualified, or close to qualified, candidate. To those who are cleared, keep it active until you are 100% sure you don't need it anymore. To this day I regret letting my TS lapse. Especially if you find a company willing to sponsor you. Nowadays they are a needle in a haystack. #clearedtalent #sponsoraclearance #hireaveteran #governmentcontractors

Recruiters get a bad rep! I mean let’s face it the majority of people think we are blood sucking vampires and rightly so, there some who are terrible at doing their job and see people as transactions! Not us, when we set up DEFC we did so with the intention of putting people first! 19 months down the line and it’s still at the core of everything we do! #defcgroup #commonmyths #recruiters
