That is more DV than SC.

Are you looking for this? (from the DVA's FAQ.)

[BoltonLad]

Thanks RC. The link is useful.

I still want to know some more details like what if any one of my previous employers in the last 5 years did not have a good term with me, will that affect?

If I had filled up a gap 2.5 months in the CV while applying for a job in the last 5 years and got an offer, will that affect the clearance?

No, that's irrelevant.

Discussing the finer detail of the SC and DV clearance processes on a public forum might though...

[RichardCranium]

When it comes to clearance the rule is: if in doubt, tell them the truth.

Fixed that, there's never any doubt.
