Tony, unfortunately it doesn't work like a certification. You don't
really "earn" it per-se. You have to go through the
application/background check, etc. As Scott mentioned below, you don't
do this independently, a company has to sponsor.

Clearances are not easy to come by these days. With all the backlog,
and
the plethora of other things DHS has to do, you'll find lots of rules
and
requirements in place that any new clearances are hard to come by.
You'll find that a company must sponsor you (you knew that), but also
that
they must demonstrate that they need a particular skillset for clearance
that is not available with someone who already has a clearance in order
to
get a new one under way. And pay lotsa money.
There are some new "site clearance" rules in place (I forget the
designation) where a company may shoe-in their various employees under
one
primary person's clearance level. Not cheap either.
On the flip side, you can always join the military reserves and work on
your
clearance from the inside. Although I'm not entirely sure this is the
most
intelligent time to be doing that!
Didn't mean to be discouraging, and I'm sure others will have more
details,
but they aren't as easy as they used to be!

Paul,
Just wondering if you or someone from DC area can advise as to how/when
can
one get security clearance. I am thinking about moving to DC but not
sure
how to go about this clearance thing, is it something that the potential
employer takes care of or is the candidate expected to have this before
applying for a position? Please let me know what is invovled with this
clearance as well, if possible. Thanks and looking for replies
impatiently.
TIA,
Tony
