Job update

So about 9 months ago I accepted a conditional job offer with GDIT a Sr principal systems administrator. It was conditional on my clearance transferring over to them. Turns out my clearance was out of scope, and needed a whole new investigation. Fast forward to last week and I find out my clearance has been granted, but the position was given to someone else, as the customer could not wait that long.

So I am told that I am welcome to apply with GDIT again, and my clearance will be there. So I spent a good portion of Thursday afternoon/evening sending out resumes. I got 5 responses from positions, and I have 3 interviews with GDIT, GD-AIS, and Mantech. Hopefully one of them will pan out!

If I were to be offered all 3 responses, I am not sure which one I would take. They are all Sr engineer positions. Its good problem to have.

So an update to my situation.
None of the jobs I interviewed for panned out, or so I thought.

I interviewed with ManTech, and everything went very well. They liked me a lot. Turns out they had someone better. Well they liked me so much that they found another Sr admin position and moved it over so that I could take it. I have a pending offer with them. Should be here tomorrow, maybe tonight.

I interviewed with Lockheed Martin last night. Went extremely well. It was a panel interview with the Chief Engineer and a couple of other higher up manager types. They said we like you and will be in touch. So I am expecting something from them soon as well.

I have one more interview with GDIT. I interviewed with them for another position back in Sept. I was offered the job, but complications with my clearance (which are now cleared up) prevented me from getting the job. They too also liked me a lot, so they asked me to interview as a formality for another Sr principal position and said I would receive an offer if all goes well.

The job market is funny. Its either all or nothing.

I tell you, something is afoot at the Circle K.

I wish to be like you someday where companies decide to throw Sr. level positions at me left and right. Early congratulations on your new job, whichever job that might be. Definitely keep us posted. It seems that you have been on the path of greatness for a while now, keep at it!

Congrats Mr Agent, I also live in Northern VA/MD/DC area and having the experience and a clearance around here really helps put you at ease when searching for a job.

Let us know which one you go with!

This has been my issue. I either have no offers or 2+.
