So if I had a public trust while working with a consulting firm, but I left that firm in March after 9 months, on applications when it asks “do you hold an active US government security clearance?” do I select “yes” or “no?” For some applications, if I select “yes” it allows me to select a date the clearance was last utilized. Also, I know I def had an interim security clearance, but I’m not sure if I ever got confirmation of my final adjudication before I left the firm. How can I find out??

Public Trust is a type of background investigation, but it is not a security clearance.

Yes they will ask you if you have an active public trust vs asking if you have an active clearance….

Because they are two different things.

Public Trust is not a security clearance

Your public trust is client- and project-specific, unlike a security clearance. If you’re asked, the answer is “no.” People who write job apps don’t always know what they’re asking.

You need to submit a privacy act request from the DCSA. If you still have it, it will be listed as inactive.

I had cleared all the rounds in S&P and had salary discussion 1.5 month back. The HR is always saying the management is on leave and will soon get the approval and release offer. Today she shas asked for one more week to release the offer. Should I wait for it or move on. Are they waiting for some other candidate to join before rejecting me at last moment. Only 10 days of my LWD are left.

Never thought I’d say this, but virtual happy hours are WAY worse than hanging out with your team in a bar. At least in person you can circulate.

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
