Have a question on a previous polygraph, and if this could keep me from employment. Over a year ago I had completed all hiring phases for the Border Patrol; a couple months after I completed all phases the Department of Homeland Security decided to polygraph every applicant, regardless if they had completed all hiring phases.
Long story short, I was selected and failed the polygraph. I was accused of trying to cheat the polygraph, at the time I thought this was impossible to do, I thought only spies or professionals were able to pull something like this off. I pleated with the examiner that I had done no such thing, I asked to to explain, he denied. I then asked him if he can hook me back up and asked me if I attempted any cheat tatic, of course he said no.
After this, I researched the polygraph and was surprised to learn about the many deficiencies with the polygraph. My question is, will this prevent me from being hired anywhere else?
