There isn't a shortage of experienced security personnel...simply
check any of the sites listing jobs in the DC Metro area. The gov't
is opening up positions to via contract vehicles, and constracting
firms are trying to fill them...but the only steadfast requirement in
any of the postings is a *current* TS clearence.
And if the commercial sector is going to whine about a lack of
talent...let 'em. The commercial sector has been posting positions
since before 9/11, and not responding when a principal or a placement
firm puts a resume in front of them.
The talent's out there...the fact that recruiting has gone down the
toilet over the past couple of years is the reason for the comments
for NIPC. The purpose of certifications are now not to show a minimum
level of knowledge...they're a tool that gets you past the recruiter
and in front of a hiring manager.
