IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE PERSONAL HISTORY STATEMENT

DISQUALIFICATIONS

There are very few automatic bases for rejection. Even issues of prior misconduct, employee terminations, and arrests are usually not, in and of themselves, automatically disqualifying. However, deliberate misstatements or omissions can and often will result in your application being rejected, regardless of the nature or reason for the misstatements/omissions. In fact, the number one reason individuals “fail” background investigations is because they deliberately withhold or misrepresent job-relevant information from their prospective employer.

The personal history statement is a governmental document. Be truthful, as there are criminal consequences for lying on a governmental document.
