Security Clearance
Jul 19th
Security clearances are not your sugar-coated M&Ms handed out on Halloween night to neighborhood kids tricking and treating. The United States government takes painstaking steps to determine a person’s [or an agency's] eligibility to access sensitive information and in turn issues a certificate of qualification.

For potential employees without clearance, establishing one can come with a high price tag.
