Top Secret Clearance in ... Retail?

July 3, 2008

I transitioned into a field I never thought about...retail. My employer highly values the traits with which I left the military.

Pay was a lot higher than expected, this employer does not take retirement pay into consideration when offering base pay and the benefits are terrific. Please feel free to contact me at oriebe@hotmail.com if I can offer assistance during your transition.

The biggest surprise for me was that I thought it necessary to pursue employment that would make use of my Top Secret clearance. I never needed it. If you want to find out more, contact me, I'll give you the straight skinny on what to expect.
