  • Learn the single most important thing you should know about a background check, and how to use this knowledge when you are subjected to one. Josh outlines what is asked for in a background info packet, and what you can prepare during your oral examination/interview.

    I applied for a job as a hospital police officer and the background check was extensive as well. This investigator asked so many detailed questions. Also, everything was auto recorded. Damn!

    I have a question, I went to take my live screen fingerprints for California Corrections. I'm going, to be honest with you, I don't know if you could give me any advice in 2013 I applied for a cleaning agency, that agency cleans the sheriff's buildings. Even though I didn't get the job through the sheriff's agency, they took my fingerprints to work there. The problem was that I forgot to mention it, do you think they will find out? I got fired from work because I wasn't doing my best, I was immature.

    Want real advice? WEAR AN UNDERSHIRT. Absorbs the armpit perspiration, which results in your brain not having to think about your sweaty pits being a sign of nervousness or stage-fright. This strategy has helped me greatly. We all remember the presentations in school and remember the classmates that sweat thru their shirts.

    I had a DUI that got reduced to a P.I. through a plea bargain; I also have a charge for Resisting Law Enforcement by Vehicle, it was a felony charge that got reduced to a misdemeanor through a plea bargain.
    What do you think, would this impact my ability to obtain my NREMT?

      From what I’ve been told by reputable personnel, if you show them that you have learned from the experience and changed for the better, they may overlook an arrest without conviction.

      Bryan Quiroga month and year, city and state. Depends on how long ago. You need to call them and ask for your hiring dates. Even fast food restaurants have that available nationwide and even over seas. Name, dob, social. There is a sample background packet for NEVADA DPS online. Pretty close to what you’ll have to fill out. For fire or law.

    Because people get nervous.The last thing I want is a bad polygraph because I'm just a nervous person when I'm really not lying about anything. Hell I get nervous just going into work every day and I've been in the army for 3 years. And before that a locomotive Conductor at 18 years old, nervous everyday then too. I got nothing to hide but are they going to fail me when I attempt because I'm nervous about getting interrogated?

    I must have asked this question a hundred times, but what are my chances of becoming an EMT with a felony background? I'm above and beyond ready to overcome this and willing to do anything but something ridiculous to accomplish having this career. I'm with a fire department now and I'm taking emt basic this fall. I made ONE mistake 5 years ago, and I've always lived a straight life. I appreciate you taking the time to hear me out.
