Job Tips: Dedicate Time to the Forums

Filed under: Job Tips — Tags: , , , — Matt @ 1:23 PM

     For this post, I wanted to re-emphasize how important it is to read the forums.  From what I have been reading lately, both SOC SMG and EODT are looking for guys again to deploy to Iraq.  This is the kind of information that you won’t necessarily find while doing a basic Google search or checking those company’s websites.  This is the kind of stuff, that you only get clued into, when reading the posts from the various recruiters and managers that hang out on the forums. 

     What you should clue in on, is when the moderators of the forums, are promoting news and jobs.  That, and if a moderator can vouch for a recruiter’s or manager’s post on the forum.  I would also warn against believing everything you hear on the forums, because there are times when guys spread some gossip or incorrect news.  In other words, you have to become an online job detective in order to make your own determinations.  One thing is for sure, if you don’t get good at reading the forums, then you will miss out.  For me, I check all my favorite forums at least twice a day, and sometimes more.  Happy job hunting.  -Head Jundi

Well, for my first “how to” story, I thought I would write a little something about security contractor forums and how to use them. Where do you go to learn about security contracting, and specifically, high threat security contracting in places like Iraq and Afghanistan?  With these links and tips, I hope to show you how.  

So let me start out by posting a few forums and web sites, that the reader can start out with.  There are others, and  please feel free to post in the comments section any of the ones I am missing.  I will be constantly adding to my blogroll as well.  (more…)
