In today’s IT job market, more and more roles are requiring employees to possess an active security clearance. However, it can be costly for companies to sponsor employees to obtain a security clearance and to train them to develop the desired skill sets necessary for a particular role. Consequently, the demand for experienced professionals with an active security clearance continues to grow.
With this in mind, as a professional with a security clearance, it’s important to represent yourself in the best light and most effectively demonstrate your experience and qualifications to employers. Having a decorated resume is a good start but to secure that top job opportunity you’re pursuing, you need to be able to sell yourself in person. TECHEXPO Top Secret has a few recommendations to help prepare & set yourself apart at your next hiring event or interview:
- Understand what the company does & what they’re looking for and how you fit into that and how your experience can help you excel in that position and company.
- Treat your interview as if it is a conversation – not only to sell yourself but also asking questions to find out if the position is the right for you.
- Prepare yourself for tough questions and practice a brief personal description of your professional skills, unique abilities, past successful accomplishments & relevant experience.
- Bring multiple copies of your resume with you for employers to review. You may have other past experiences that make you a strong candidate for other positions available within the company.
- Send Thank-You emails to every interviewer – this could help you seal the deal if it’s done right.
