When i went to go take my polygraph it was a horrible experience. I was there for almost 5 hours. With only one chance to go to the rr. Then after all that he tells me i failed and that he wanted to know where i was moving the drugs. And kept on insisting as to who i do it for and where. It’s a ridiculous part of the process and shouldn’t be done for the process to get into BP.
Yeah, I just took a webinar last Wednesday. I just emailed the recruiter. Hopefully I hear from him today. Not sure if I have to apply first but they send me the link they sent me all the information so I’m going to start my process this year and see how everything goes, the only thing I’m worried about is my medical, but like I said, I’m a do my best you know it’s not for everyone but keep your head up man you’ll find something and I wish you luck man
Hey man I applied to Agricultural Specialist position 2 weeks ago. I still haven’t received an e-mail whether I got the offer or not. Does it take that long?
Sorry to hear about that man, I’m at the e-qip part of the process. By any chance how long did it take for you to get an email after your eqip was submitted ? I submitted mine a few days ago but haven’t received any new notifications since.
I'm going through the same thing bro it was my first time applying fresh out of college going through the process with ease then came poly, I've never done anything wrong in my life in regards to crime and drugs, I went in the first time got hooked up to the machine and asked the questions then the guy totally changed his attitude and started screaming at me accusing me of drug use and distribution I knew I've never done such a thing so I kept my cool and denied the statements he was making, I felt it more like an interrogation, after like 3 hours of this he then told me if I was willing to come back for a second time I said yes long story short the second guy was more chill he didn't scream at me like the first guy and I felt confident going in the second time after the test was done he then told me I failed yet again and it was that same question after he asked if I was hiding anything and I told him I wasn’t I mean if I were why would I be lying let alone applying for a federal career, two days after that I got the email that I had to wait two years to reapply to say that I'm bummed out is an understatement it really hurts you mentally because if you know your a good person then why are you being accused of something you've never done, I don't want to say polys are a joke but they are a letdown to say the least
You know.... By the time recruits get to the stage where polygraphs are administered, I think they've already gotten a good idea of who they want and who they don't want. I think up to that point, all potential recruits submitted tons of information, and BP has their own criteria which isn't made public. While all of the recruits up to that point satisfy published standards, their hidden standards already flagged some people. Not necessarily "bad" people, but people that don't fit their criteria for one reason or another. Relationship status, job patterns, political stances, etc. The polygraph is a great way to just cut them there without having to reveal the hidden standards. You can tell the truth and fail or, conversely, lie and pass. Or combination of both. Hell, they could KNOW you're lying, but if you fit the model of what they want in a recruit, they'll pass you. Polygraphs aren't an exact science and departments know that. It's one step where they can cut you without really telling you why. I wouldn't doubt that that's intentional. I hope you don't mind me shooting you a little advice, bro. I grew up in a bad part of Los Angeles and I got into some heavy bullshit. Drugs and eventually homelessness. Violence. But I became an EMT. I just saved up $900 selling oregano to my peers and did three months of EMT school and my life took OFF from there. Paramedic school, fire dept. Eventually, I got into radiology and cardiology. I'm 39 now. I heard you didn't get your GED. I dropped out of high school sophomore year. I lied on job applications about having my diploma (nobody checks) until I went back to school for radiology. I got my GED at 32 years old right before applying. I was tired of lying. I say stick with whatever bullshit job you got for now, earn your GED. It's honestly not TOO difficult exam for most if you put in a little study time. I heard you wanted to be a fireman. You TOTALLY still can. You're 28/29, so you carry much more maturity than most of the 18 year old EMT's. And it's only 3 months of school. Get your GED, get your EMT, and you're in the PERFECT position to apply for fire department. I'm currently saving to buy my first investment rental. I'm shooting for millionaire status. But I'll be honest.... I watched your videos because I'm ALSO super tempted to join BP. But I've lived a life of a LOT of lies before I cleaned up my act and I've got to do SOME lying to cover my past and preserve my medical career. 😅 BEST OF LUCK TO YOU, BRO
Hey bro, I’m 32 years old and thinking about switching careers from working at an operational facility to something like radiology. Is there any way I can reach you to ask you some questions? I’m also located in SoCal.
This was the perfect comment. I would say more about this comment but I don’t feel like typing. I commend you, salute to you, keep going, stay safe and God bless you.
Don't feel bad man. They I did the poly twice for cbp. They claim I lied bout something i was honest bout. I did the whole process twice. I moved on to state police im my state, scheduled for the academy this August. Don't give up man. I know life feels not living for after such a loss. But I promise it gets better. I wouldn't take the cbp job if they offered it to me personally.
So far my process: Entrance Exam GS9 Exempt ✅ Background Investigation ☑️ Medical Exam ☑️ Physical Fitness Test ☑️ Polygraph Exam ☑️ Structured Interview ✅ Drug Test ✅ Final Offer ☑️ Also applied to the DEA and now on Phase 3 🤷🏻♂️
As someone who has gone through the federal hiring process, e-qip is brutal and soul sucking experience I waited several months for a public trust clearance let alone the secret that typically required for border patrol and cbpo's You should look at maybe the TSA brother their clearance requirement is significantly lower with atleast comparable starting pay and no polygraph.
It took a lot for you to post these unfortunate negative results from the polygraph. Much respect and good luck to you sir…CBP probably lost a good soldier for the front lines of defense! 👊
@@fencerider1492 The poly is just to make sure you aren't BSING. The hardest part for a mexican American, is they likely at some point have had illegal family, helped out an illegal or something, so it's easy to fail that portion. The drug use, they just want to know it wasn't recent. If you smoked weed 2 years ago, but it says it has to be over 5 and you go in and say you didn't, then yeah you're going to fail. They don't care what you've done, they just want to know you're honest. Telling them you've done drugs, been arrested and all that isn't going to get you flunked, it's the lies. They measure sweat content in hands, heart rate, oxygen intake and all with a machine. it's no joke.
@floored3078 The poly is a joke, to be honest. I know lots of guys that have failed it over "terrorist links" or terrorist ties. These are guys who are veterans. Also, the guys that do the testing love to fail people and joke about it.
Bro, don't feel bad I passed everything the S.I. the medical side, the p.t. exam, even the polygraph yes even the polygraph but then my background investigator and O.P.R. denied me my job offer in the end. And @ the time I was a Department of Defense Police Officer for the USAF as a security forces member, with a security clearance. My clearance wasn't TSCI but in any event they didn't hire. I come to terms that if ur hispanic or latino they will scrutinize you to the fullest. Since the majority of cagers in the CBP rank have been Latinos, and now we have to pay the price for what other pendejos have done in the past while working for CBP.
@@yericapolanco2257 Honestly, I took my poly in December 2019, passed it then in late December of 2019 I was found unsuitable. I applied again in June 2020 and was found unsuitable again in October 2020. I never met or spoke with my investigator during this process. My polygrapher was very professional and he even wanted for me to apply for H.S.I. later in my career since at that time I was D.O.D. officer for the Department of the Air Force, but O.P.R. office of personal responsibility had other plans for me, rejection.
@@valseyer4486 People think it's easy to get on, it isn't. They aren't just hiring everybody, even you with military experience weren't selected. It isn't because you're hispanic. It sounds like being found unsuitable is due to the poly. I think you also failed the poly. Those polys are very picky.
@@floored3078 nombre carnal I passed the polygraph. I did a F.O.I.A. freedom of information act to obtain the reason they didn't hire me. I suggest you do the same carnal.
@@valseyer4486 and it told you unsuitable with zero reason? how's that an F.O.I.A.??? I've applied for many agencys and if you fail a polygraph it says unsuitable, and when you inquire they tell you they can't tell you. I know you've only applied for CBP, but I've applied for 19 other agencys and have a very large understanding of the way it works.
Bro you’re not the only one those polygraphs need to be thrown out the window so many people are 100% honest and fail. But you made it far and maybe God had a different path for you keep trying maybe even go for police officer major shortage. Don’t get discouraged
@@darkriku234 I've seen 5+ year cops, pass 2 and fail the 3rd. It's all about timing. he might fail for BP, but pass for FBI. I wouldn't give up trying.
I know that I've done nothing wrong in my only 22 years of life but I'm still gonna fail the Polygraph and honestly if I did pass then that would be a disgrace to those who failed for random bullshit reasons
@@mjgarcia7332 You got this, wait 2 years and go back. SHOW THEM YOU WANT IT. They'll know it was a fluke. I seen a guy fail a polygraph being questioned about Murder, then he admitted to murder and failed the same poly. That's why they aren't admissible in the court of law.
Yeah, I heard that being a CBP officer is great and all but I hurt the management can suck ass. I did comment below that I did take a webinar. I mean it’s great and all the money, the benefits, the pension after you retire but you work a lot of hours you have no family time you’re gone constantly.
Brother it took a lot to post and I really commend you for that bravery. You’re needed, and I’ll say retry for sure.
Reapply!! Don’t give up I’m on the same process and it’s taking long but just being patient that’s the key!
Your DQ for 2 yrs after you fail the polygraph. Unfortunately my time with law enforcement is over. New video coming soon . Thank you for the love
