QUESTION 8 OF 30

Given this role's direct interaction with customers and money, Sodexo requires a criminal background check. Is there any reason why you would not agree to this step of the process?

At Sodexo, the customers' needs, safety, and comfort always come first, which is why they run background checks on new employees. If you have a criminal record, disclose the basic details before the background check so that your interviewer isn't caught off guard by the results. Be honest and assure your interviewer that any past discretions will not hinder your performance going forward.

"I will disclose to you that I received a DUI in 2014 but do not have any other marks on my criminal record. The experience was a genuine wake-up call and I have worked hard to stay on a lawful and positive path ever since. I can assure you this mistake from my past will not be an issue if hired at Sodexo."
