Not Disclosing Getting Fired Leads to Security Clearance Denial

Originally published at: https://www.clearancejobsblog.com/not-disclosing-getting-fired-leads-to-security-clearance-denial/

I see this time and time again where an applicant undergoing a background investigation fails to disclose getting fired from employment. Usually, the reason for getting fired is based on performance and attendance issues. This in and of itself will not result in an unfavorable adjudicative determination, but failure to be honest about the circumstances…

Had a similar termination, glad I disclosed it. Would be a stupid reason to get denied.
