Whether you're just
browsing for information about high-paying overseas jobs,
or you're an experienced professional looking for your next contract...
FACT: The overseas
job market is changing fast in places like Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan...
FACT: The recruiting pool is flooding 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 and some companies have packed up and
left...
But even under these conditions, with the right tools and sources,
you can still find employment in the danger
zones...
You need
lots of tools, constantly
updated information, current news and good advice to succeed in your job hunt,
which is exactly what Danger Zone Jobs offers...
People who work overseas as
private contractors, whether in security, engineering, transportation, or
whatever, will tell you that finding a job is a matter of both who you
know and what you know.
To have
a chance of finding a job with these companies:
-
You have to network.
-
You need to stay up to date on
what's happening in the industry,
-
You need to know who has what
contract and who lost what contract.
-
You have to find out which
companies to chase and which companies to avoid.
Helping you speed up your job search
is the whole purpose of Danger Zone Jobs.
Danger Zone Jobs helps you find the on-going answers for those questions
and much more.
Halliburton and KBR, for example, claim to have 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 other places
also need to find people that fit their specific requirements.
The problem is,
most of the time,
they don't even announce their openings.
You can find jobs faster if you go to
them,
not wait for them to find you.

Thumbs Up...
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.

Can't I find 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 facts around,
and present it to you in a way that you can understand and act on. There are
bits and pieces of it in dozens of different books, journals, websites and in
papers and magazines. And, if you care to spend the time looking for it, you
can get some 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.
My job as editor is to be
your filter:
to process all that free information into something you can use
and which will save you tons of time.
Even when you track the information down, the next step is trying to make use
of it. There are so many different opinions and ideas about the "right" and
"wrong" way to do things. You could spend the next five years reading every
web page devoted to finding a job with the private military firms and defense
contractors, and end up even more confused than you are now!
Think about it. If information was water, you and I would be drowning, right?
The sheer volume of information on the Internet is literally overwhelming. And
the worst thing is that many of the "experts" disagree.
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.

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.
