I am not the POC or recruiter and please use the email provided below in order to submit your resume. Now if this is another ‘notional opportunity’ thing, who knows, but it doesn’t hurt to get in the ring and submit anyways. I noticed that Wakenhut was advertising as well for WPS guys. (I am sure all of the big companies are in on the bid) So we will see.
A couple of things about this. First, I mentioned yesterday that the requirements for security is pretty high right now in Afghanistan, and this drive to up the numbers of WPS folks is a part of that process. The worldwide requirements for securing government employees out there is tremendous. So the WPS program will need some folks, and it will be interesting to watch that evolve and grow. Although the one thing I continue to hear from contractors on this program, is that the rules and policies can get pretty ridiculous, and it is filled with typical government bureaucracy. But work is work.
The other thing I wanted to mention, is that EODT has a great company website. What makes it so cool is the RSS it has for company news. Now if they could do the same for jobs, and if all the companies could set up RSS for their jobs and news, well then all of us would be happy. I might have to do a post on this. –Matt
