The process, reasons for denial, and keeping up with updates can feel overwhelming without someone to guide you. That’s why I sat down with Lindy Kyzer, the Clearance GOAT, to break it all down. Tune in to hear everything you need to know about security clearances, so you can navigate the system with confidence. Clearance Jobs Overview Lindy is the Director and PR of Clearance Jobs, a job board and career resource for those with an active federal security clearance. The platform connects employers with candidates who hold various levels of security clearances, such as intelligence, military, and cybersecurity. SF86 Form Updates and Process Changes Lindy discusses the transition from the SF86 form to the Personnel Vetting Questionnaire (PVQ).  The new form is designed to speed up the process by breaking it down into four parts and making it less of a headache for job applicants. She also highlights the new digital form and E-App system, which help save time and effort. How to Know If a Clearance Is Still Active One of the biggest questions from service members is whether their clearance is still active post-separation. Lindy addresses the upcoming policy change that extends the window from two years to three years, allowing more flexibility for transitioning service members. She advises confirming the exact status of your clearance by consulting with recruiters or security officers. Common Reasons for Clearance Denials Lindy highlights the primary reasons for clearance denials: Financial Issues: Including significant debt and unpaid taxes. Drug Use: Especially in states where marijuana is legal, as federal law still considers it illegal. Criminal Conduct: With the current continuous vetting system flagging issues more promptly. Lindy emphasizes the importance of proactive mitigation, advising individuals to seek financial counseling, address substance abuse issues, and self-report any potential problems. Advice for Transitioning Service Members For service members entering the civilian workforce, Lindy offers actionable advice: Leverage prior clearance eligibility when applying for roles. Consider roles in the Guard or Reserve that can lead to clearance upgrades Research employer policies and contract requirements regarding clearances. "Being proactive is the best way to mitigate issues in the clearance process. If something comes up, address it head-on—it shows integrity and willingness to take responsibility." - Lindy Kyzer.  Resources clearancejobs.com Lindy Kyzer on LinkedIn Sponsors Part-Time Hitter is a collaborative initiative by Friendly Forces and The Fratty Guard. http://friendlyforces.com http://thefrattyguard.com
