Working in the healthcare services industry means that you are in contact with vulnerable people, children, pharmaceutical drugs, drug-related equipment, confidential information, and other areas of sensitivity. Any position at Saint Vincent Hospital requires staff to pass a full criminal background check and your interviewer needs to be assured that you will consent to a background check if offered this role.

"No problem. I understand that it's part of the job. But I want to be up-front, I have done a full background check before, and there is a possibility you will see a charge for possession of marijuana in the check. It was several years ago, and it's no longer an issue for me because I've made significant changes in my life to pursue this career. But I don't want you to be surprised by the information. I'm happy to answer any questions you have."

Assure the interviewer that you are able and willing to pass a complete background check. If you have a criminal record, now is the best time to disclose anything that will be found during a background check process. This proves your ability to be upfront and honest and potentially negates any reason for a job offer to be rescinded.
