Defense Career Opportunities Newsletter
DEFCON 1 newsletter for June 21, 2017
Issue # 510
“If you are far from the enemy, make him think you are near.”
– Sun Tzu
This edition of DEFCON 1 comes to you from Springfield, Virginia.
DEFCON 1 was not issued for the two previous weeks due to travel and a heavy schedule.
*** Welcome to the latest edition of the number one Defense Career Opportunities Newsletter, “DEFCON-1,” a networking newsletter featuring job opportunities and career advice for those who are part of the global defense, aerospace, maritime, marine technology and security industry.
DEFCON 1 brings you job opportunities every week, and counts on members like you to submit job listings to share and post in this newsletter.
*** NOTE: I am migrating this newsletter to a new Google Groups List (Defense Career Opportunities Network).
When you learn about a job opportunity in the defense sector, such as a position that comes open with your company, you send me the title, organization, location, and a brief description; link; or contact information, and I’ll share. This is a cooperative network. That means everyone’s participation is required to provide job opportunities to share.
I never give out, rent, or sell my list, and neither does Topica.
