In my experience recruiting in many industries and companies that require complete background checks and education verifications, interviewers will often try to get candidates to discuss their ability to pass any required checks upon hire. They need to disclose that their organization conducts background checks, and in doing so, they give their candidates an opportunity to discuss any blemishes on their records.

"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. If you hire me for this role, I will maintain a clean record."

If you take the time to research Northrop Grumman before your interview, you'll quickly see that they have multiple clearance qualifiers for new hires. Each job at the organization can require different aspects of a criminal background check and employment/education verification. Some possible things to discuss are everywhere you have lived and who can verify that location, your education, family, work history, military history, and education history. Assure the interviewer that you are most willing to comply with any background check they require.
