SC clearance

[SuperZ]

Generally, DV tends to increase your daily rate a good amount. So personally I'd love to go through the "hassle" of getting cleared.... It's only a few forms and an interview... doesnt seem like a lot of hassle to me

I meant the hassle of continually transfering it, maintaining it. So when you get your DV clearance report back when you`re told after landing a new gig that you can`t start for another x weeks until yet another BC is done, tell me it`s not a hassle.

I don`t think it`s £150 more a day. I`m seeing DV cleared jobs advertised at low rates at the moment

You can also easily lose it also, without realising it

A few forms, an interview, an in-depth credit check, a look thorugh your personal finances, an in-depth check on you past political history, an in-depth check on your crimonal record (real or imaginary), formal interviews of friends and family, informal interviews wiht past employees and colleagues, a check on all your trips outside the UK ....

Yeah, trivial. Can't see what the fuss is about.

I didnt say it was a "trivial" matter...

You only actually fill in the forms (yes, they're in-depth and that can take some time) and have a lengthy interview.

All the investigative work mentioned above is done by other people in the background as part of the vetting process. So, it's not exactly a load of hassle but it's not trivial either.

Also, I would hope that if you lost it you would soon realise when the burly security guards turn up at your desk!
