I worked as an Investigator for a large contractor for about 10 years right out of college. It was a great a choice at that time, I enjoyed it.
Became a stay at home mom, started a small business, but it has stayed small and due to other personal reasons I wanted to get back into Investigations, It felt like a safe choice.
I got the offer, signed all contracts, got the clearance, had my training date set. I still wasn’t sure I was making the right choice. But, was grateful for the job offer after all these years.
2 weeks ago got an email out of the blue saying the company was no longer engaging in my area and training was cancelled (this was a 1099 position).
Does this happen a lot? Since I’ve been away for so long, I don’t know how stable this career is and is it worth it to reapply to other companies or direct with DCSA? I like the contractor idea and don’t really need the benefits right now. I’m not sure what to do.
