DV Clearance and poor credit score

[Sockpuppet]

Technically by mentioning your going for DV clearance you've just automatically failed the clearance process

Certainly telling people you have DV clearance is grounds for losing it!

You're assuming it is a DVA clearance...

So, if you are DV cleared and an agent calls you up and says "I've got a great gig...are you currently DV cleared?" what are you supposed to do? say no and stand no chance of getting put forward for it?

Another classic urban myth...

Bollox - the last SC role I did, everyone had different badges based on their level of security clearance, so you knew who should be in different parts of the building and who shouldn't be there.

The "myth" being?...... that you will get overlooked for a cleared role if you don't have clearance? That's not a myth in my experience.

Or are you referring to the myth of not being allowed to tell anyone you're cleared?

Generally I would agree with what people say about telling people you have it is grounds for losing it and we assume telling the odd person, wearing you badge around colleagues... Small potatoes.

I would hazard a guess that posting this information on an open web forum certainly would be frowned upon though.

I do apologise. I quoted the wrong post.

To be clear - the latter...

Thanks all

Hi All

Thanks for all the feedback/advice. I hadn't intended it to start a battle though!!

It would seem that different people have different experiences which would maybe match the 'case by case' approach.

Thanks again
