Working in the healthcare services industry means you are in contact with vulnerable people, children, pharmaceutical drugs, drug-related equipment, confidential information, and other areas of sensitivity. Assure the interviewer that you are able and willing to pass a complete background check and drug test. You must disclose if you have a criminal record or will not pass the drug test.

"I have a clean criminal record and am happy to comply with any background check you require of me. Also, I have never used drugs, so my test will be clean. If hired at AdventHealth, I can assure you that I will never participate in drugs or criminal activity."

"No problem. I understand that it's part of the job. But I want to be up-front, I have done a full background check before, and there is a possibility you will see a charge for possession of marijuana in the check. It was several years ago, and it's no longer an issue for me because I've made significant changes in my life to pursue this career. But I don't want you to be surprised by the information. I'm happy to answer any questions you have, and I can assure you my drug test will be negative as I do not use drugs of any kind."

If you have no problem passing either test, assure the interviewer you have no criminal history and do not use drugs. If you do have something negative that will show up in your criminal background, focus on explaining what they will find and tell your side of the story. The interviewer can then decide if they want to continue in the hiring process depending on the charges. If you will not pass the drug test, you may want to reconsider applying for a healthcare position until your test will come back clean.
