03310151 = Network Admin, with an MBA in IT Management. Former enlisted Marine with Top Secret clearance. Not even getting a whiff from the Navy.

 

Over qualified? Or is the relationship between the USMC and the US Navy less than amicable?

...have you contacted the Navy?

 

Keep trying. I'm sure the Navy will give a ex-Jarine a shot.

Sorry, I'm ex-Navy and couldn't pass it up.

 

Gotta love friendly military rivalry

 

So get the spelling right... GYRENE. And we are "former"...not "ex" Marines. Damn, can't teach a squid anything...

 

You gotta love the Marines. Ex, former, who cares?

 

A buddy of mine recently got hired by DISA in Columbus, OH, and says they are looking for system admins with a TS/SCI. PM me if you want his contact info; sounds like they're willing to hire qualified people who are willing to move to Columbus.

 

Lack of CISSP?

 

Spoke with someone high up in IT in our DoD agency not to long ago. He is looking for IT people but mentioned his frustration with the government HR process. HR only gives him the "top 3" scored by them, and it turns out they weren't qualified at all. They just worked the keywords in their resume very well based on the announcement. Crazy things like "server experience" was really "experienced server at TGI Fridays."

 

LOL, I'm going to have to tell that to my buddy. Good luck with the new gig! If you ever wander down to Annapolis feel free to let me know; this jarhead will buy the first round...
