Hi I will be handing my notice in at work and crossing my fingers when moving from my current permie position to a contracting position very shortly. Obviously I am hoping to have some back up work if all fails, but ultimately I want this position! I am now 25 and looking to move for my career development and more money. I am concerned my slightly naughty youth may now cause me problems!
The cautions I have recieved since I was younger are the following:-
Criminal Damage/Endangering road users:- When I was 15 while drunk pushed two parts of a train shelter up and threw off bridge
Using threatening/words behaviour - When I was 17 and drunk was threatening a guy but subsequently got arrested and cautioned
Possesion of cannabis - When I was approx 22 - this one explains itself!
Obtaining services/goods via dishonesty (this one I am most concerned about) - I refused to pay for car park tickets at a local superstore by tailgating other car park users out of the car park....unfortunately got caught once! But I know this can look really bad against my character, but given the nature of it was hoping avoiding a car parking charge wasn't seen as a threat to national security.
On the plus side I have worked for a company providing the IT for a government contract (HMRC) for 6 years.
I also have an overdraft of only £550 off which currently I am not using but will be before the end of the month, with no other debts.
What do you think my chances are of passing security clearance?
And as a side note for security clearance will they check medical records?
Any help would be appreciated!
