Drug use, Felonies and Security Clearance
Security clearances and final suitability are adjudicated by looking at the candidate's entire profile (including court records). There are no automatic disqualifiers from the process. If you are interested in joining the Civil or Foreign Service, you should at least take the first step by registering to take the Foreign Service Officer Test, applying for a Foreign Service Specialist vacancy, or submitting your application for a Civil Service position on USAJobs.
