QUESTION 34 OF 40

Due to the sensitive nature of our work, we require our personnel to take random polygraph tests. Do you have an issue with this requirement?

Depending on the security company and the nature of the work you will provide as a Security Manager, random polygraph exams and drug testing may be required. The interviewer is forthcoming, so you know that random polygraph exams are a requirement. The interviewer wants to see if that will be an issue for you before moving forward in the hiring process.

Assure the interviewer that you have nothing to hide and are an honest person. Tell them that taking random polygraph exams will not be an issue for you if hired. If you have taken and passed a polygraph in the past, let the interviewer know.

If you have a problem with polygraph exams, be honest in your interview. If, for some reason, you will have an issue taking random polygraph exams if hired, avoid saying that it would not be an issue. It would waste your and the interviewer's time moving forward in the hiring process as they will let you go when you refuse the first polygraph exam.

"No, I do not have an issue with taking any random tests you require. I have nothing to hide and am an honest person. I have taken three polygraph exams in the past for work and passed every one."

"I saw that was one of the job requirements in your job announcement, and I do not have an issue taking polygraph tests. I have never taken one before, but I am sure I will not have a problem passing as I am an honest person."
