From what really was a quiet week last week, now really seems to be ramping up. New referral to Northrup-Grumman, security clearance required, but in process again, would pay considerably well, with normal working hours. The are going to call back tomorrow of Friday to do a phone interview.
It is funny how the government works. To get the first level of security clearance , they basically need to verify that 1) you are not a Terrorist, or anything like it, and 2) Cannot be persuaded by outside interests that may compromise your position. Basically I get the impression that as a civilian, you are considered a threat until you can be verified that you are not. Usually, that would be unsettling to me, but its the government, and I am glad they are being that cautious with everyone.
I never thought I'd be on the phone with 2 diferent recruiters discussing 2 different positions, and have Alro Steel in the works as well, To tell a recruiter last month that I need to hear out Alro Steel first would have seemed unlikely to me. But hey, I really should hear them all out first...
