SF-85 Question Employment

SECURITY CLEARANCE Q&A
1

I’m a current college freshman and I’m filling out the SF-85 form for a DoD internship. For the form I need to list 2 years of employment experience and I listed an internship I did during my junior year of high school. However, what would my status be for the time before and after the internship? Unemployed?

Thanks!

Anytime that you are not actively employed should be listed as unemployed. The form should ask for a verifier, who would be someone who is aware of your unemployment, as well as your activities during that time.

Hope this helps.
