Will a Background Investigator Look at Previous Applications?
Question by jdancer10: Will a background investigator look at previous applications?
Okay so I have had the dream of becoming a firefighter my whole life. I was given some poor advice by one of my friends who is already firefighter when it comes to applications. My friend told me to be honest about my 3 times of marijuana usage only on applications where I will be polygraphed otherwise not to mention it. So here is my problem. I recently just passes a polygraph for a smaller department in North Carolina where I was honest about my drug use and now am in the background for a conditional offer of employment for an out of state department where I was not honest. My fear is that the out of state Background Investigator will find my North Carolina Application and DQ me for lying. Now before I get all the responses of I shouldn’t have lied and all of that I’m telling you I absolutely know and its all because I stupidly listened to my friend who is current employed with the out of state department. Anyone who has any insight on if this will show up and if so what I should do about, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance,
Joe

Do the right thing and contact the background investigator. Tell him the truth just as you did here. If you are hired and didn’t tell the BI, there is a chance you will be fired for lying. Even if it is 20 years from now. Since you are here telling us about it, you are feeling guilty about it. You will probably feel guilty about it for the rest of your career. It will be hanging over your head and you will be wondering about it. Man up and tell the BI about it.
