"I am ready to fully comply with any background and verification checks required for my formal acceptance into Nova Southeastern University. I have a clean criminal and driving record."

Ryan Brunner has over ten years of experience recruiting, interviewing, and hiring candidates in the healthcare, public service, and private manufacturing/distribution industries.
If you can successfully pass a criminal record check or education verification, explain that you have a clean record. If you have any blemishes on your record and cannot pass a criminal record check or education verification, be upfront about that in the interview process. Nova Southeastern University will be more forgiving if you are honest about any marks on your background check.
