I am going to apply to a job position. But it says?

Question

"This position requires an active DOE or DOD clearance. Do you currently hold an active clearance? ".
What do they mean? what are these? How to obtain? Thanks.

Answer 1

DOE Department of energy clearance

DOD is department of defence clearance

Security clearance levels often appear in employment postings for Defense related jobs, and other jobs involving substantial amounts of responsibility, such as air traffic control or nuclear energy positions. Employers generally prefer to hire people who are already cleared to access classified information at the level needed for a given job or contract, because security clearances can take up to a year to obtain.

Answer 2

It is a very extensive background check, an indepth investigation of your life. There are several levels of security clearences.



This security clearances take time and money to obtain. No, you cannot just "buy" one.



If a job requires you to have one snd you don't, then don't bother applying.

Answer 3

If you don't know how to obtain these clearances, then you do not have the requirements for the job. Anyone that would know how to do the job would also know how to obtain the clearances needed. So applying for that job would be a waste of your time.

Answer 4

if you do not know what a DOE or DOD Clearance is, then you do not have one and you cannot just apply for one on your own. your employer must apply for it on your behalf.



companies that require you to already have one are too cheap to pay the thousands of dollars and more( plus wait the six plus months) to get you one

Answer 5

Department of Defense or Department of Energy clearance. The military gives you clearances for certain MOS's/Rate's/AFSC's. Also some civilian jobs require clearance's.

DOE gives clearances for certain job's ie, Nuclear ect.

Answer 6

Just say no. You don't just "obtain" them without having a federal job in those agencies.

Answer 7

Excuse me!

Answer 8

If you don't know what it is, you don't have it.
