Maybe a dumb question: What can a corporate interviewer ask about obtaining a security clearance?
I’m in a position where I will be interviewing with a government contractor for a role that required TS clearance (DoD). I feel confident in my background being clean, except for one *slight* nugget that could raise a flag. Honestly, I’ve never been through this process before so I don’t know if I’m just working it up in my head or if it’s an actual issue.
Back to the topic, can a manager who’s interviewing me about the role also ask me about my background/concerns in regards to obtaining a clearance? And *should* I disclose that with them? Or should I offer up the option of sitting down with their security officer to discuss?
Again, I have no idea how all this works besides what I’ve gleamed from this sub and Google, so any insight is appreciated! Thanks!
