Small clearance related question:
I was just offered a job for a defence contractor, that would require Secret clearance. I looked over the application form and I won't have a problem with any of it, but I did use pot like 4-5 times back in college (over 3 years ago).
My hiring contact basically said the check is "Credit check, felony check, you're clear", but is there any chance that'll jeopardize the investigation?
I've talked with FBI folks who have said 'yeah, we know kids do pot in college, that's fine', but my hiring contact basically told me everything short of "just lie and don't put anything". That seems unwise if I ever want TS and the polygraph required there.
I'm just hesitant to jump ship from an existing job to this one if there's even a chance the I won't get clearance (and would be subsequently fired).
Cover you rear end. Keep a copy of the hiring contract on you and DO NOT LIE on an SF-86.
I too smoked weed back in college and was approved for a Secret clearance, but I did not get my interim clearance because of that same usage. The company that was going to hire me instead hired someone else as a result and left me out to dry yet kept my clearance application active. I'm now working private sector but I do have a DoD Secret clearance on file if I ever want to get another govt job.

I'm curious about the
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SPECIALIST (SECURITY) GS-2210-09/15
Probably a network security position on base in Houston I'm betting. Whether it's Red or Blue team is definitely an unknown until you go interview.
