I’m finishing my BS degree now and I’m about to apply for internship with BAH. Like you, I too was a green card holder. A friend of mine, who knows people from the company, told me that a US Citizenship is more desirable. I’m not sure if security clearances are required in some levels at BAH, but what I know for sure is that you won’t qualify for a security clearance unless you’re a US Citizen.

Not entirely true. I applied on their website and got a interview request a few hours later. After a phone screening, I have a in person interview coming up. It’s all about having what they want and making sure it fits with the job description.

I would say if
you don’t hear back in a day or two they’ve determined your resume doesn’t fit what they are looking for.

Hi Rick – with a Masters degree and 20 years work experience how come you entered at the Associate (Level 3) level? Was it a trial buffer to test your fit with the company before promoting you to Senior Associate Level within an agreed time frame? I would have figured they would have had you enter at the SA level. Thanks!

Hello Charger,

What is that other 2%? I am curious.

Thanks!

Great information, thanks so much. #2 confirms a suspicion of mine that the online route really doesn’t work well. I think that when a company has a set forum for actively recruiting new employees, i.e. universities, it’s best to go that route if at all possible–even if it means heading back to school. You have to pay to play, right?
