话说我们这一行，不跟金融计算机似的涵盖范围广，几乎啥地方啥公司都会需要。能做的实在有限，不进学术界的话百分之五六十都得到政府相关部门工作。硕士毕业找工作那年真是绝望，那会儿没有绿卡，我们相关到工作几乎大半都需要clearance。终于混到两个政府的subcontractor，现在的这个公司总有项目是我不能参与的，虽然开会的时候时常听他们说起xx战斗机云云。公司里曾经呆过CIA，NSA，或者曾经拿过CIA offer的，又或者离开以后去了这些initial机构的，少说有个四五个。
去年在湾区本地找了找，找到一家环境处理（厄，军事基地的）的，想着这下总算行了吧，结果面试完毕，我看他们没人问我关于clearance的问题，自动问了一声你们没有这要求吧，我不是公民啊。人大惊，说，哈，我们这要求top clearance，亦即跟非美国公民有常规来往都要报备的。我顿时沮丧。那project manager看来对我甚是满意，一直吊了我一个多月，说正在找解决办法，结果，还是不了了之。
今年我又兴起找工作的心，跟DC那边一打听，朋友们说，找吧，现在CIA的工作很多。
我跑WashingtonPost网站上一看，哗，虽然CIA的么有post，但排下来三四五六个opening，统统写着，top clearance/national security。
所以说，经济形势不好的时候，加密工作愈发蓬勃了啊。

Plan to tell all to Obama administration
November 13, 2008 - 11:44am
WASHINGTON - Be ready to tell all, if you want to work in a high-ranking post in the Obama administration.
In fact, be ready to dig through all your old documents to find all of your resumes and biographical statements for the last decade.
The seven-page questionnaire includes 63 requests for records. Some of those requests are for information related to your spouse or grown children. (A copy of the questionnaire is on the left in pdf format.)
You'll need to list every place you've lived and anybody with whom you've lived.
Questions about conflicts of interest include asking whether you or your family has been affiliated with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or insurance giant AIG.
Under Domestic Help, you'll be asked the immigration status of your housekeepers, nannies, chauffeurs and yard workers.
The questionnaire asks whether you've sent any e-mails, text messages or instant messages that might embarrass you.
You also will be asked to provide links to your blog or Facebook page, any screen names you use on the Internet and any aliases you have. Again, the administration is looking for anything about you that might be, "a possible embarrassment to you, your family, or the president-elect."
Stephanie Cutter, a spokeswoman for the transition office, tells The New York Times this vetting process is part of Obama's commitment of changing the way Washington does business.

好像不是笑话。昨天的All things considered 就是这么说的。你要申请新的白宫职位，就得把自己在网上讲的所有话汇总啥的，包括开的不合适的政治玩笑。
