Are there any websites that specialise in jobs in Middle East?
Jobserve and the usual suspects are a bit light

The clearance itself probably won't check the CV - it's more about what you are like as a person and whether they think that you would be a target for blackmail / selling secrets etc.
The CV checking part is the job of an interviewer and agency rather than the clearance department.

Blackmailable ? I don't think I have any skeletons like that.
I'm more concerned that .... ermm.... CV/profile maybe doesn't quite accurately reflect past clients/dates. Not accurately at all in some cases. Like a holiday brochure it emphasises what you want to see and doesn't mention the construction site outside the balcony.
I think I'll drop out of the NATO thing as this would be picked up and I would fail the test.
I don't suppose they would recruit me based on one CV but accept a totally different one for the clearance checking !

If you do have skeletons in the cupboard, you can still get DV'd, as long as the government are happy that you are not blackmailable, they will give you clearance.
I had DV clearance, and had to get NATO clearance to work in Baghdad, my clearance came through on my last week there.

Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostAs far as I know DV is the highest clearance and the only way to go higher is to tack things onto it (‘TK’ and ‘STRAP’ were the ones I had), I know a guy who used to work on NATO sites with SC+ NATO clearance so I guess it’s a similar deal and therefore not as deep as DV.
If you have any skeletons in your closet you won’t want to go through DV, believe me.
