About
William Beaver
Editor-in-Chief and Founder,
DangerZoneJobs.com
I spent 16 years in Kuwait, from 1992-2008, most of the time as co-owner of a subcontractor that supplied various services to both the US military and the contractors supporting them.
This experience gave me an extensive understanding of the problems faced by the men and women who accept overseas jobs and the challenges they go through to work abroad.
In the late 90's I was a board member of the American Business Council-Kuwait, served as editor/publisher of their magazine Correspondent and was a member of the Kuwait chapter of the Overseas Security Advisory Council.
As a result of these experiences, I started DangerZoneJobs.com in January 2005, both to offer a site that would help busy contractors with their job search, and more importantly, to provide a place where they are taken seriously.
I moved my family (and the company) back to the US in 2008.

OK, WHERE'S THE TELEPHONE NUMBER?
I prefer to work via email. I can get back to you faster since I'm not always in the office to take phone calls. If you really need to call, please send an email first, and I will give you the number privately. I'm sorry we have to do it this way, but when we openly published our numbers before, we received a lot of nasty calls from people who do not like contractors. Sounds silly I know, but after all these years, I just got tired of it.
RECOMMENDATIONS FROM OTHERS FOR DANGERZONEJOBS.COM
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.

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.
