L OR Q CLEARANCE
alphadude:
yes they stick to DOE and you dont see a lot of jumping back and forth-however that may be changing-there is a recent influx of poweplant people-power plant work can get lean- DOE tend to be longer term

also, one could not afford to obtain such a clearance even if you didn't need the employer request... various #'s thrown about, but i have consistently heard $10k to process, and substantial amt's to keep it active thereafter...
i held a "Q" from the early 80's thru the early 90's, then they downsized the # of cleared people needed... [rocky flats]... it took about a year for me, i spent a summer in france w/no perm address, and being the communist influenced country that it was at that time, sent up lots of red flags.
if one does get a clearance, you can send off to washington for your clearance paperwork. i did, and it is about 3-4" thick, and quite useful for things like old addresses, bank #'s, etc.. along with having quite interesting reading about what your friends and acquaintances said about you!!

You will lose your clearance as soon as you lose your "need to know". Not just when you leave your job. It is, however, easier to get one re-instated than it is to get a new one. They will interview your childhood neighbors if they are still alive. Hello to all my old friends who love dog stew.
TaskJobs:
Many of the positions that I recruit for require Q & L clearances. It's very hard. As was said earlier...ppl w/active Q's are not just walking around unemployed. It's quite the catch 22. I've seen ppl that "left out" info they didn't feel was important & that is a big NO NO. Just tell the truth...all of it!
