Question 29 of 35

All of our candidates must pass a criminal record check and education verification. Is there any reason why you would not be comfortable with this?

The interviewer asks this question to ensure you are comfortable with the hiring process and that there are no red flags or concerns that would prevent you from passing a criminal record check or education verification. The organization must maintain a safe and trustworthy environment, and a thorough screening process is necessary to achieve that goal. If you can successfully pass a criminal record check and education verification: 'Yes, I am happy to comply with any background checks required. My record is clean, and my education can be verified.'

Suppose you cannot successfully pass a criminal record check and education verification. In that case, you want to be very upfront: 'You are welcome to conduct a background check on me. I will disclose upfront that I have a DUI on my record from 2009. This does not affect my ability to travel for work, and I no longer have any restrictions on my driver's license.'
