QUESTION 5 OF 35

Because of the nature of business at Lockheed Martin we conduct background checks on employees. This includes criminal background, credit, and education verification checks. Are you willing to comply?

Most companies in the aerospace and defense industry need to be very cautious about who they hire. There is a chance that much of the information you are going to access could be confidential and dangerous if put into the wrong hands. Your interviewer wants to be sure you are willing to comply with any and all background verification activities required for employment at Lockheed Martin.

"I am happy to comply with any background check required. My record is clean, and I have a strong credit history. I do not participate in drug use, either. You can be assured that if you hire me for this role with Lockheed Martin, I will maintain a clean record."

"Yes, I am willing to comply with any background checks that you require. I understand the importance of background checks."

Assure the interviewer that you are most willing to comply with any form of background check they require. If you are certain they will uncover something from your past that would benefit from explanation, being upfront and giving your interviewer a heads up can be helpful.

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

I have no issues complying. I have maintained a security clearance for 20 years and know the importance of it.

Marcie's Feedback

Excellent! The interviewer will appreciate that you're willing to undergo background checks. By explaining that you've maintained a security clearance for so long, the interviewer will feel reassured that this won't be a problem for you. You might also remind the interviewer that you are law-abiding, honest, and full of integrity.
