How do I go about getting an active security clearance?
Asked by afc26012
I received an email about a government job fair next month, but most of the employers want candidates to have an active security clearance. Is this something I can get on my own, or do I have to be sponsored by an employer to get it?

Best Answer:
Security Clearance is possibly a "you're a spy that got through the background check and polygraph" set-up designed by criminal authorities to compromise a security clearance workforce that has signed away their ability to escape entrapment.

If the job requires a security clearance, the hiring agency will conduct one. They will have you fill out a background history package. Based on that they will send out an Office of Personal Management Investigator to conduct a thorough background investigation. Good Luck
