I'd be interested in the answer to this. If, perhaps, we need to pay
for our own clearance and so get into the 'closed shop', this may be a
good way of ensuring a career future.
If I get some good information, I will put it as an option on the
'between contracts' document I am about to publish.
How to apply?
Levels of clearance?
Cost of obtaining clearance/s?
Time it takes to get clearance/s?
Likelihood of work at various clearance levels?
Maybe Anna (or any other consultant on the list) could give us some
advice from an employment consultant's perspective?

Subject: atw: Security clearance closed shop
Hi All:
I've recently seen several ads (or the same ad several times) for tw's
with current security clearance. I'm wondering about the mentality of
the employers behind these positions. Obviously, they restrict their
potential pool to the presumably small number of writers with such
clearance, which effectively creates a closed-shop.=20
The ads implicitly assume that there is a sufficient pool of unemployed
people in this closed shop to satisfy demand, since there is an
implication that clearance cannot be acquired in the same way that --
say -- my police clearance was acquired before I started my last two
jobs in the health and welfare sectors: if you don't already have it,
you can't get it.=20
Are these ads just fakes, placed because of whatever bureacratic
requirements, but designed to remove all except those who have already
been selected for the job?=20
Garry
