security clearance is a golden ticket for a job. if the company gets you your clearance for free, you now have access to jobs that the majority of american's don't.

For starters, just because a job requires a clearance, that doesn't mean you will actually use it that often. I work for the larges defense contractor in the US (if you don't know who that is, just...

Every company is different, but I believe the logic behind "no phone" is so they don't have to deal with cameras and recording devices. I would be surprised if internet access was blocked.

I don't have the specific forms I will need to fill out, but based on what my would-be manager said at the interview, I should be fine.
Have you ever been arrested? - Nope.
How is your credit?...

And this isn't a financial question btw.
