Before your interview, find out the background requirements of this potential employer. You must be sure that you can meet these employment standards before the job interview. The interviewer wants to trust you, so it is up to you to be completely transparent about your history and any possible marks on your background they may uncover during their due diligence process.

"A background check is no problem, and I am happy to comply with any due diligence that you may require. You will find that my criminal record is clean, and I have no history of using drugs. I did receive a DUI when I was seventeen years old; however, this infraction is not on my adult record. I paid my fines, performed community service, and have never had a drink of alcohol since. If you'd like to perform an education verification check, I am fully compliant."

This answer should be brief, as the interviewer only asks a yes or no question. If you are interviewing for a Security Manager position, you must be willing to comply with all required background checks. If something will show up that casts you in a negative light, focus on explaining what happened and what you learned from that experience.

Even if there is something in your past that is embarrassing to mention, avoid being dishonest with the interviewer. It is best to be transparent and honest in your interview, as the interviewer will find out your past during the background investigation. During the interview, you have the opportunity to explain what happened, and the interviewer can decide if it is something they can overlook.
