If you are a federal employee or government contractor, you may need to obtain and hold security clearance in order to get a job. While this may seem like an easy and straightforward, it can be anything but. In the last decade, there are increasing regulations, involving more and different types of jobs that require such clearance. These additional requirements may make it difficult for many to be employed or continue to stay employed in their federal positions.

First of all, just because you have been granted a clearance does not mean you will have it for the remainder of your career. A security clearance can be revoked at any time for a number of different factors if they call into question your ability to work with high-level confidential information.

The application process as well as any renewals consists of a thorough background investigation into all areas of your life, including your personal and financial history. A number of factors can put your character into question, including excessive debt or traffic offenses.
