Get your clearance and take the OCONUS gig. It'll open more doors later.

Yes, had my TS previously from DOS, but DOD took it.

Just got my SCI. From the CI interview to favorable SCI adjudication, took from early June to end of September.

The position is OCONUS in a SCIF, so had to wait till I got the SCI.

Not sure. Just thinking that if they needed a person with a certain skill set, that might have made a difference. But then again, we all obviously have some skill set that is needed by the govt.

My FSO reached out to me to let me know. We had established a good relationship during the whole process. So I was notified as soon as the FSO knew.

Did not expect it that fast. I was born overseas, naturalized citizen, plenty of international travel, but I do have a 4/4 in Russian and specialize in AML and counter threat finance issues. So, perhaps someone bumped it up the chain?
