I have just turned in my first personal history statement, after filling it out there was only two things that I thought would prevent me from getting hired. One I think it fairly serious and the other somewhat minor.
1. When I was younger ( two years ago ) I made a small number ( two or three ) of small explosive deceives using black powder. I exploded them very safely on private property owned by my parents. I did it because it was a engineering challenge, designing and building the fuses and creating something that went boom.
2. This past May, while on a business trip to Denver CO, I used someone else’s ID to gain entrance into a gentlemen’s club because I was 20. I went with the group because several of them were quite drunk and I was concerned about them. Also, one of them worked for me and I wanted to make sure that he did not do anything that would cause him to not be able to conduct his duties the following day. There was no stopping them from going so I choose to go to make sure they stayed out of trouble. While there I did nothing but supervise my colleagues , I had nothing to drink and I did not spend any money. Honestly I was somewhat discussed by the place.
Looking back I would not have done either if I had to do it again. Does anyone have any input, I am going to get grilled about both issues on my upcoming oral board.
