Re: Oracle DBA with TS SCI Clearance Needed in Dayton, Ohio..

[KENNETH JANUSZ]

If your background is clean these clearances should be no big deal.  When I was driving submarines for a living I had TS, Crypto and COMSUBPAC Special Intelligence clearances.  SI is above TS.   Ken Janusz, CPIM Former U.S.N.

So, if you have one, it behooves you to keep it current. They used to estimate these clearences were worth an additional $10K a year for salary. Im thinking at least $25K now. Alot of my friends that have these clearances , whether they be DBAs, programmers, Sys. Ads. etc, have standing offers for work in many places around the world due to the fact these clearances are very hard to get. Also, the companies will not foot the bill for this delay. The government usually has to approve all hires where the individual is not cleared. From what I have seen the government is in no mood to do this as of late. FWIW !

How can all these positions be filled unless these company/entities start footing the bill for people getting the clearances?!? Johnson, Michael wrote: That is not my understanding. FWIW.
