FACT: The overseas job market keeps
changing fast in places like Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan...
FACT: The recruiting pool is
flooded because of people getting out of the military with overseas experience
and security clearances, plus thousands of contractors moving from company to
company...
FACT: Contracts are drying up, or
changing hands, and some companies have packed up and left...
FACT: But even under these
conditions, with the right tools and sources, you can still find employment in
the danger zones...
Whether you're just browsing information about
high-paying jobs in places like Iraq, or you're an experienced professional
looking for your next contract...
You know you need lots of tools,
constantly updated information, current news and good advice
to succeed in your job hunt, which is exactly how Danger Zone Jobs can help
you...
Finding yourself a job is this industry can be harder
than most others...
Some traditional
job search techniques work, many don't...
People who work overseas as private contractors,
whether in security, engineering, transportation, or whatever, will tell you
that finding a job in this business is a matter of both who you
know and what you know.
But very few openings are advertised,
despite the listings in Monster, Hotjobs and others. Employers hiring for
federal contracts and sub-contracts have very strict guidelines and
recordkeeping requirements for their recruiting process, which means you
may never hear from them even if you do apply through their own
site.
KBR, for example, has thousands and thousands of resume's in their database, yet
they continue to conduct job fairs around the country. Why?
Simple. They need
more than just bodies. They need qualified, experienced employees. Most of the
other companies hiring for jobs in Iraq, Afghanistan, Qatar, Kuwait and similar
places also need to find people that fit their specific requirements.
Finding overseas contracting jobs is a process, with no easy
tricks or shortcuts...
To have a chance of finding an overseas job with these companies, you
have to:
1. Network.
2. Stay up to date on what's happening in
the industry,
3. Stay current on who has what contract
and who lost what contract.
4. Find out which
companies to try and which companies to avoid.
5. Keep up on what contracts are in play and out for bid.
6. Learn about new regulations and changes as Congress and the
Pentagon keep increasing industry oversight.
And you
have to do all these things without wasting your
time...
We help
you stay informed of the on-going answers for those questions and much
more. In fact h
elping you radically speed up your job
search is the whole purpose of Danger Zone Jobs.
Fast track employment information for 177 companies with overseas
jobs.

saving tons of time. You've probably experienced this problem already.

you're there.

to us when applying for jobs. Now you'll know up front and save a lot
of wasted effort.

I'm a person who likes to follow
things to the source. I had the same questions many of you did about Danger Zone
Jobs.
So, first I invested in a subscription and then recently on my
travels to Kuwait I had the pleasure and opportunity to meet and talk
extensively with the owner and editor. I give a thumbs up to both the web site
and it's originator/owner, William Beaver.

If you are

access to the member area, but this includes job listings, company profiles, and
the like. There is a good amount of free info you can review before pulling out
the credit card, including many articles, so you can make a very informed
decision about joining.

Can't you find some of the
information free somewhere else?
Yes, definitely. All basic
raw information is free if you are willing to trade enough time to
discover it.
We collect and collate some of the
best information, advice and sources around, and present it to you in a way
that you can quickly deal with and act on.
There are bits and pieces of it in dozens
of different websites, books, journals, trade publications, and in
papers and magazines. And, if you care to spend the hours
daily looking for it, you can get most of it free.
But
is it really free?
The first thing you need
to consider is the amount of time and effort spent tracking down the information
you're looking for.
Your leisure time is important. The last
thing you want to do is waste it in front of a computer trawling through
hundreds of pages and emails trying to find some useable information.
Danger Zone Jobs acts as your personal
filter: processing all that "free" information into something you can use,
saving you tons of time.
Even when you track the
information down, the next step is trying to make use of it.
You could spend the next five weeks
reading every web page devoted to finding a job with the private military firms
and defense contractors, and still end up
confused.
Think about it. If information
was water, you would be drowning, right?
Will the free information you find
work for you? The only way you can know for sure is to put it to the test, then
cross your fingers and hope you have the results to show for it.
How much time can you spare?
The editor of dangerzonejobs.com
spends a good part of each and every day going through news alerts,
newspapers, magazines, and trade journals, reading company websites,
reading other forums, checking out new sources and new
leads, talking with people in the business, trying to find the best stuff
for your needs.
Can you spare hours everyday to do the same? Now you don't
need to.
A valuable,
easy to use resource for the Hot Zone job hunt...
I
would like to begin by saying that his site is very easy to find by virtue of
it's name. The site in my opinion will attract a wide gamut of potential
employee’s seeking High Risk High Pay jobs, ranging from skilled professionals
to adventurers, and braggarts.
Irregardless of site users this site provides an invaluable
resource by combining hiring notices and hiring information in one site. Bill
has built and orchestrated this site to assist in finding gainful employment in
hot zones around the globe.
The layout of the site once a membership is purchased is very
straight forward and still requires the users to search and comb the site for
companies providing employment. As in anything else you have to be aggressive in
obtaining solid and gainful employment, this site supplies the company profiles
and links to career contacts for specific companies.
You have to be aggressive when using this site, Bill will
provide you with the information and you have to do the best you can with it,
the site is not here to find you a job it's here to assist you by providing
informational resources.
Bill spends a tremendous amount of time and
resources to obtain the information for his site, not to mention the cajoling he
has to do with representatives of the companies on his site.
Only you can determine if the price is worth it that may lead to
your dream job or another contract. If you spend the money to subscribe to
Bill's site and you land a $150K contract then the money was well worth it, if
not then you may feel differently.
Either way the Danger Zone Jobs .com web site is a valuable,
easy to use resource for the Hot Zone job hunt! In my opinion I would highly
recommend Danger Zone Jobs. com as a resource for the booming international job
market.

You can join Danger Zone Jobs today to get all these benefits and more for the risk-free, rock-bottom, one-time
membership of just... $49 (even if you use the
site for years...which most members do).
And here's why it's risk-free:
A No Hassle, No Questions Asked 30-Day
Money Back Guarantee
We strongly believe that you'll
find the information on our site, useful, time-saving and
important.
But we understand that you're
concerned about buying something over the web.
So if you don't like it, send
us an email and we'll refund your money. Simple as that.
No questions asked, no hard
feelings and risk free to you.
No need to ever renew...
This is a one-time membership to
Danger Zone Jobs, like a subscription to a great service that never
ends.
If you find yourself looking for another job a few months or a year
from now, we'll still be a resource for you to go back to.
If you ever lose your username/password, we'll be
happy to send it to you immediately, no matter where you are.
But come on... a one-time membership of
$49?
The answer is simple. We do the
research (now nearly a full-time job itself) and then many people buy it. We're
not involved in finding individual jobs for individual people, so we don't have
a lot of overhead costs.
Danger Zone Jobs is designed to help
people help themselves in the process of finding a high-paying overseas job, and
the internet makes it inexpensive to produce.
If you were willing to spend a few hours
every day for weeks on end you can find the information you need on the web. But
you have to figure out where to look and that takes too much time.
So in reality the most
important thing our site offers is convenience. You've heard
"time is money" and it's really true when you're looking for your next job.
So, $49 (only
once, and never expires) seems like a fair price for all the
benefits. A higher price would just be greedy.
Think of it like
this...
The longer you use the site, the cheaper and
more valuable it is, $49 divided over 2 or 3 or 4 years...
Danger Zone Jobs started in January 2005, so
those early members are really getting their money's
worth.
