Let's say a Service Member is on a career development site like LinkedIn, is it appropriate to post that you have a security clearance publicly to attract more employers, or keep it on a "need-to-know" basis when talking to the company directly?

Correct me if I am wrong, but IMO, posting whether or not one has a current security clearance is also a "down and dirty" way of showing, at least on first viewing, whether or not a person has a criminal history.

I would be very careful posting anything on Social media sites. They can use almost any derogatory information, whether political, social or even a divorce can be a disqualifier for your clearance. Though typically you can get that over looked through the appeal process. But just to be on safe side. It's wise not to disclose any personal things as that.

Depends, are there any government contracts being worked on in other departments.. If so posting a clearance level could get you moved to the team. If you're looking for a new job, I have found its only relate to companies the need employees with a clearance.

It's probably not a good idea to post anything about security clearances, as they scrutinize social media sites. Also any speeding tickets, etc may disqualify you. May not, but they're tightening the leash a bit lately
