There’s an opening on the team that I work with. I suspect the qualifications and skills overlap with those of some of the folks around here. I’m happy to answer questions if I can.
You should mention that this position requires security clearance. That is a huge barrier to entry for people that don’t already work in defense. I’m a seasoned EE and I would definitely apply for this position but the posting requires a clearance and they aren’t offering to sponsor.
People who already have security clearances aren’t struggling for work.
My understanding is they’ll sponsor a candidate for a security clearance. Under the requirements it lists the ability to obtain a security clearance. This is what they say if they’ll sponsor a candidate for a security clearance.
If they require that a candidate already has a security clearance it will say it requires an active security clearance under the requirements (which this one doesn’t). Subtle differences but I’m glad you brought it up.
If anyone is now wondering, how would I know if I can get a security clearance or not? This video gives some helpful hints. Note it’s from a third party, not sure if it’s factually correct but it seems very plausible.
