When responding to this question, focus on thinking 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.

"The worst thing you will discover in my background is a small claims court case with my landlord. I moved out of my apartment, and the landlord refused to refund my security deposit. He said there were damages to the apartment when I left, and he needed the deposit for the repairs. I took a video of the place after I cleaned it and was able to prove in court that the landlord was being untruthful. The judge ruled in my favor, and my security deposit was returned."
