Title: Security Clearance
Post by: Alike1 on Jun 28, 2005, 08:17 PM
I'm interviewing for a job with Security clearance needed.  I've smoked weed two years ago, and havent done it since.  Does this disquaify me from getting the job?

Thanks for the response.

This depends on the agency and the job for which you applied.

Safe zone for security clearance is usally 7 years prior to the application for the job.

To be honest 2 years ago is somewhat too recent for most agencies.
