Hey everyone I am back in California after being in Japan for a long time. Man I am looking for employment here and it is hard. I am looking for contacts that might help me. This is a start. I am a Logistics Specialist with a Top Secret clearance from the DOD. Does anyone know or does anyone have any openings where they work at. They say networking helps and this place seems like a great place to network at.

I find it hard to believe you are a logistics specialist with a top secret clearance and that you've been employed by the DOD. Considering that it's extremely rare to get a contracting job in Japan without having a connection not to mention people with clearances of that caliber already know tons of people.

well i was a contractor in japan and i could not find a job there to stay. its just the economy is bad here in the states its ridiculous wish i was in the medical field it seems like employment is not scarce there. most of my connections are trying, but there alot of hiring freezes everywhere and being gone so long from california most of my contacts are not here anymore. I do know lots of people but what can you do if there are no positions open.

Thanks for the link. I have applied everywhere and still nothing yet. Probably people are to scared to hire me since I used make good money in Japan. Thanks for the info...

I put the "lol" at the bottom of that post of mine because you're not going to get much help from this site. That's about the best there is, unless there is lurker here who just happens to have something for you. Good luck

I know that there are some opening around Virginia and DC for DOD. I dont know if they are logistics positions or not but if you are willing to hit the east coast for a while there are SOME jobs out this way.

If you feel like moving to Okinawa, General Dynamics hires new people like every other month. Since you have a TS clearance all you'd have to do is get some BS certs and you're pretty much a shoe in.

PM me if you're interested and I'll send you in the direction of someone who can help you.

Most of my job openings are for higher level engineers (Mechanical/Electrical). That's the reason I don't post on that job opening thread. I already have enough unqualified individuals not reading my job postings trying to apply for my jobs.
If you want (OP) feel free to PM me and let me know more about your background and what you're looking for.
