Q: How do I apply for security clearance?
A:
There are many who think they can go to a company or agency and apply for their own clearances.
This is a myth. The reality is, first you have to get a cleared job, and then and only then,
if you're successful in getting that cleared job, can you apply for security clearance.
Let's suppose XYZ Corporation, a mythical U.S. defense contractor, is awarded a Department of Defense
contract that generates a need for software test engineers with access to classified information. Thus
XYZ has a specific need for a software test engineer with clearance. Therefore XYZ starts looking for
a software test engineer with clearance, and if you apply for the job, and if XYZ decides to employ you,
then XYZ will sponsor you for security clearance.
