How to Answer: Have you ever been arrested?
20. Have you ever been arrested?
How to Answer
The interviewer should never ask this question but you can choose to play along or you can opt out of the answer tactfully.
"If you require me to complete a background check or criminal record check - I am happy to comply."
Please note: An arrest is different than a charge. Depending on the job, you may need to disclose any criminal charges but not arrests that did not result in a charge.
