To work for Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital, you must be able to pass a full criminal background check and drug screen. Will you have an issue passing either?

"I have a clean criminal record and do not use drugs, so I will not have an issue passing either."

"I am not sure if this will forfeit my chance of being considered for the position, but I have a misdemeanor on my record from 15 years ago when I was 18. I was charged with an open container on the beach and paid my fine. I am happy to continue in the interview process and comply with your background checks should you allow for some exceptions. I assure you that my drug test will return negative as I have never used drugs."

Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital invests a lot of money in performing background checks and drug screens on their candidates. If you have a reason to believe you will have an issue passing either, it is best to inform the interviewer when asked this question, so they can decide if they want to continue moving forward in the hiring process.
