Thanks,

I will append this information on our [eligibility page](https://about.clearancejobs.com/candidates/security-clearance-required/). Yes, candidates with interim security clearances of any level can join ClearanceJobs. Interim status should be noted in the Clearance Notes section of your ClearanceJobs profile. When your interim clearance becomes a final clearance, reference to this change should also be included in the Clearance Notes section of your profile. If a final clearance is not awarded and interim status is lost, you should contact us for removal.

Hi Eric,

I just obtained interim clearance. Can I join job through clearancejobs network with interim clearance or should I wait for final clearance to start the job on clearancejobs network?

Advice and suggestion needed.

Hello,

I am informed that I have obtained interim clearance in DOD in DC. I think I would officially have interim clearance only after I start that job. And till the time I start that job, DOD have halted the background investigation. If I decline to join the job, they will revoke the interim clearance and may b hire somebody else on the position.

(1) On [clearancejobs.com](http://clearancejobs.com) website, it says that the candidate has to have interim clearance at least. Now, do i need to enter the job in DC and then apply for jobs in [clearancejobs.com](http://clearancejobs.com)?

(2) Also can i switch to a job in [clearancejobs.com](http://clearancejobs.com) before obtaining final clearance? If I can switch the job then who will sponsor my final clearance? Its bit confusing.

Please advice on this matter so that I upload my resume in [clearancejobs.com](http://clearancejobs.com)
