The conversation between human and AI assistant.
How does past drug use affect a person's chances for joining the FBI, CIA, NSA, or other government agencies?
Can drug use that occurred a long time ago still impact a person's chances of getting a job in a government agency?
Yes, depending on the specific agency and position, past drug use may still be a factor considered during a background investigation or security clearance process. It is always best to be honest and forthright about past drug use so that any potential issues can be addressed and mitigated to the best of the applicant's ability.
