     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.
