Most healthcare agencies will require their candidates to undergo a background investigation before being offered a job. If you have a violation or charge in your background, the interviewer will decide if the offense is severe enough to disqualify you as a candidate. The interviewer wants a heads up to see the worst thing they will discover in your investigation to determine if they should move forward in the hiring process.

"I have a clean background, and you will not find anything incriminating in my background check."

"The worst thing you will discover in my background check is a speeding ticket I had ten years ago. I was cited as going 10 miles per hour over the speed limit on the freeway. I paid my fine and have not sped since."

When responding to this question, think back to any disputes you had with a neighbor, poor credit, tickets or citations, criminal or civil charges, arrests, drug use, or family members who have been in trouble with the law. Most background investigations are in-depth, and investigators will discover everything about you. If you have something troubling in your past, this is your opportunity to tell the interviewer what they will find and explain the situation.
