“We do not quite forgive a giver. The hand that feeds us is in some
danger of being bitten.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
Welcome to the latest edition of the number one Defense Career
Opportunities Newsletter, “DEFCON-1,” a networking newsletter featuring
job opportunities and career advice for those who are part of the global
defense, aerospace and security industry.
This is a cooperative network. That means everyone's participation is
required to provide job opportunities to share. When you learn about a
job opportunity in the defense sector, such as a position that comes
open with your company, you send me the title, organization, location,
and a brief description; link; or contact information, and I'll share.
Please suggest to your HR recruiting staff that they send me one job
each week to share with this network.
If you are seeking employment and want to pitch yourself before hiring
managers in the defense industry, send me (lundquist989@cs.com) your
pitch and I'll post, one at a time (so there might be a queue, but there
is no queue now) and always first.
Transitioning, or changing your e-mail address? Don't forget to change
your DEFCON – 1 subscription. To unsubscribe, send a blank e-mail from
the old account to DCO-unsubscribe@topica.com. Then a blank e-mail from
