In some (probably most) cases, it is a "hard" requirement with no exceptions. In other cases (particularly where the skill set is very hard to find), it is a soft (or softer) requirement that can be waived if the right candidate comes along. <br /><br />KrisKristan J.

Almost all require a clearance but most do not require that you have the clearance when applying"<br /><br />Would you please confirm that I am understanding your statement correctly: that is security clearance is not required before an applicant is considered.<br /><br />With thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569772432953120875.post-34875694480431983962009-09-17T19:44:32.272-04:002009-09-17T19:44:32.272-04:00Good series

I know of some folks who have gotten a lot of benefit from them.<br /><br /> Another source of advice for getting a job in intelligence -- particularly advice for veterans -- can be found in Marc Viola's “A Spy’s Résumé: Confessions of a Maverick Intelligence Professional and Misadventure Capitalist” (Scarecrow Press, 2008). Marc is former Air Force, has since separating from the service has compiled an impressive record of achievement in the Intelligence Community, including service as a faculty member at the National Defense Intelligence College.<br /><br /> Kindest regards,<br /><br /> Dan GressangAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
