QUESTION 7 OF 30

We conduct early-stage criminal background checks and drug tests on all of our candidates. Is there anything you would like to disclose at this time?

Merck needs to be very cautious about who they hire for apparent reasons. There is a chance that much of the information you will access could be confidential and dangerous if put into the wrong hands. You will be working with personal employee and company information and must maintain confidentiality. Assure the interviewer that you are most willing to comply with any form of background check and drug test they require.

As with any interview question, you want to focus on being completely honest in your response. As embarrassing as it may be, if you do not think you will pass the drug test or have a criminal background, you need to let the interviewer know that now. If passing the drug test will not be an issue and you do not have a criminal history, assure the interviewer that you will have no problem passing both tests.

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