One of the most common questions we hear from job seekers is: How do you get your first security clearance if you don’t already have one? It can feel like the ultimate catch-22. Many roles require a clearance, but you need an employer to sponsor you before you can get one.

So today we’re digging into exactly how that works and how candidates can actually convince a company to take that step.

Joining Katie Helbling is Jillian Hamilton, Content Director at ClearanceJobs and someone who has spent years covering the defense workforce and helping candidates navigate the cleared job market. She’s also written extensively about companies willing to sponsor security clearances and what job seekers should know before applying.
