They ARE issuing work visas again and not just for frontline medical professionals either. I got my back in August, and since I've been on this contract, we have brought in at least six new personnel that I am aware of, plus a few more on another contract our company has here too. Even Bahrain has started issuing new work visas.

The UAE government has announce more relaxation of the rules to include the issuing of visas, so hopefully for those programs, things will start moving for those other programs.

Kuwait has started to roll your Visa 14 into an 18 as of a few weeks ago. Kuwait did close the airports and the rumor is we will go back on "Lockdown" but that has not happened yet , only the airports are shut down.

Bropez said: Does anyone have any contacts or can offer some insight into any other places? I know Lord Qarlyn seems to be well connected. I got my clearance and have been continuing to self study for the md101 exam waiting to see here or hear from my recruiter that bodies are moving again before sitting as I honestly only passed the md100 by luck. Also in april my normal job had layoffs that included me and now I've been stuck at an Amazon warehouse just working on my bachelors (business Mngmt @ WGU) and trying to practice stuff for the md101 and reread books, watch video lessons etc. Its really hard to learn this stuff without being in the environment practicing every day. Im on clearance jobs and linkedin but I rarely if ever hear anything back. Doesnt have to be IT honestly I tried to get on with PAE doing like grounds maintenance in Japan. Anything is better than 15 an hour stacking boxes in a trailer for 10 hours. Or at least I'd rather do that abroad haha.Anybody willing to hook me up with some connections? Even good learning tools, courses on udemy, whatever that I can be doing to actually land one of these jobs?
brambis said: One thing I'll say is that I've never heard anybody ask for that particular cert. Your money might be better spent on another cert. You could still study the material that you have but I would go for A+ and/or Security+. That gives you certs that are actually required by Dod8570 and gets you alot closer to getting a DOD IT job. Those are about $340 a piece. I've easily spent over $2k on certs the past couple years. Make your money count. If I had to pick the 1 most valuable cert to get I would say Security+. Almost every position I've applied to requires that. With that and already having a clearance, I'm certain you could land a job. Alot of people recruiting and hiring for these jobs are not IT savvy themselves. I've had quite a few interviews recently for more advanced positions where I could tell the people interviewing me didn't have a clue what they were actually quizzing me about. Look for tier 1 or helpdesk style jobs, even if they're outside of the cleared world. They suck but it gives you experience and leverage to move onto better positions.

How else can I satisfy the Computing Environment requirement for these kind of jobs? I have my security+.And yeah vectrus included. My technical address was literally questions like what does https stand for. Theres no way you can hold a security+ and not know that. But the difference between security+ and getting the windows 10 MDA is lightyears apart

I would just look at the embassy guidelines, it doesn't matter what a government announces unless there is concurrence from our government as well.

Xepher said: Tip for anyone, never put your eggs in one basket. IF you're anticipating going to the ME, why not try elsewhere in the world until the spot you want opens up or there is movement. It pointless allowing yourself to lose on valuable experience holding out for a position. Everyone has to understand, there are alot of internal movements within the ME contracts and outside the ME contracts (Vectrus lost a few contracts recently) with that being said, Vectrus is goin)g to move the people on the lost contracts over non Vectrus as a priority. (This could take several weeks to months to sort out. Again Vectrus isn't the only contractor out there.
balance said: Thanks . I had no idea that FMS contracts existed .
Bropez said: I cant tell if I'm just a moron or I google stuff wrong but I just cant seem to FIND these opportunities. If im being honest Im like 99% sure the only reason I got in with Vectrus its because I was in with someone that works there right now.It seems very competitive. Like most of the time the jobs are posted after someone has already been selected. I think Im probably boned until I finish my degree. Im about to just try and find recruiters with the company im trying to apply to on LinkedIn and see if I cant get lucky. I applied to be a Janitor yesterday on a sub base so if Im somehow unqualified to mop floors I probably need a reality check

There are plently of opportunities available outside of Afghanistan/Iraq. That would be your best bet and there are so many players in the game Vectrus isn't the only company out here.
