Man I feel you. I am also so disappointed by this specific part of the process at first seen all the people saying they failed the poly unfairly and that they were truthful through the entire exam. So I was a little skeptical about it. I honestly thought maybe they really were not honest on something at all. After I took mine I completely understand now that they indeed want you to fail. I was told I was not being honest in one of the questions and my examinator tried everything he could do to make me change my answer which he did not succeed because I was telling the truth at some point I got so frustrated and just wanted to get out of it. I really felt I was being treated like a criminal. He would not accept my answer and said whatever I say will not matter because I already had failed the test. This is just wrong man, a guy with an inaccurate machine that is a completely stranger to you will decide if you continue the process no matter how qualified you are for the career this is just wrong in all sense. I hope they get rid of this requirement soon I am certainly sure they're losing so many good people.
Thank you for your info. I’m at the early stages of my application. Also I’m also going thru marriage problems at the roommate stage. Thank you for the heads up I’ll definitely keep that in mind for when I get to the polygraph exam. Much blessing brotha 🙏🏼 don’t give up you got this. You’re still young.
I'm sorry the CBP application didn't work out, but glad to hear about everything else positive for you. I really appreciate your honesty and humility. I found your video useful and insightful in ways I didn't expect. I can relate to many things you discussed.
I'm 24 & first generation Mexican American my mom still has a green card she has get revised every 10 years. And Im in the process of joining the border patrol and I truly appreciate all the knowledge you share bro. And I hope all works out for you bro and God has a greater destiny for you. Much love from San Diego.
It’s great to see you again man. I spoke to you before when I first applied and just wanted to update you. I passed my polygraph and wanted to Thank you for all the advice you gave me. I’m still in the hiring process on the background investigation. Just had my phone interview an hour ago so I’m hoping for the best. Sorry to hear about what you went through man but remember for every down, there is an up. Head up homie. Blessings headed your way. Nothing but love over here🙏🏻
Couldn’t agree with you anymore brother i failed my polygraph with a different agency and with the marriage shit i was going through the same exact thing so i feel you 100 dont give up my dawg
I learned a great lesson in the ARMY! "if the Army wanted you to have a wife, the ARMY would have issued you one!" Never marry and be in Law Enforcement or Armed Forces.
Man this world is small, we both had our structured interview on the same day in the same place. I hate that you didn’t get through, but don’t give up! The Poly is hurting a lot of good applicants from what I’ve been reading. Keep your head up brother.
@@ZEFFENWULF wrong. people fail the polygraph that have never done anything. well experienced candidates fail simply because of the way the test is administered. you could be a saint and still fail. research.
@@Pennyywisseefacts. My dad is in Cbp and I’m in the hiring process and he’s scared for me when I get to the polygraph because of the fact that he knows that a lot of people fail that exam
Go to an agency that doesn't require a Poly.. New Mexico State police, Portland Police, WA state corrections. I mean CBP isn't a general authority Post certification, it's a FLETC or federal academy. It has no transferability to any other real local departments. Law enforcement pays pretty well. I was corrections, and was making $30hr. It is what you make it to be, I'm chasing after becoming POST certified now. If you're in Cali look into Butte Law enforcement academy. Or look at states which allow a self sponsored academy, usually if you send your self there's no need for a poly after. As someone who knows its pseudoscience??? I'd never attempty a poly. They aren't admissible in court because they had a guy say he did commit murder and passed, and then say he didn't and passed. LOL.
I heard if you have to take the polygraph in Texas take it in Houston and not Del Rio and not San Antonio. Also, I’m sorry to hear about your struggles bro I hope you are doing better.
Same happened with me. I said a dam machine can't look into it mind. It's intimidation type thing put wires on your body & ask dumb questions. I left found something else
Hey bro just saw one of your first videos you being hyped up to now this one.. Man keep your head up as other doors will open for you.. So if you fail the polygraph does that mean your permanently barred from applying again in any federal position?
two-year Polygraph examination results are valid for a two-year period. Applicants are eligible to take the polygraph again after that time period. This is for border patrol
Hey i was wondering if there’s a background investigation apart from the eqip in the hiring process. I’ve finished all the steps i just got my polygraph left and i should be done, but i’m not sure if there’s another background investigation after the poly. Also i started in mid January so i don’t know if it starts to slow down now but the process has been quick for me at least.
The eqip is the background investigation. And yes it’s a very long process be patient and expect it to be a long process. Good luck I’m rooting for you
Question my buddy was going to be a border patrol agent cause he doesn’t really got much going for him except for like a Ged but he didn’t know all the requirements can he apply with a Ged ?? And is it worth him doing
Hey, I'm thinking about starting my application. I'm 18 and heard they accept 18 yrs. I've held a Military Secret Clearance. My dream is becoming a CBP Agent, What do you recommend me doing?
Watching your videos made me stop my application, 🙁 I didn’t want to continue We all do dumb shit when we’re young, drugs, partying, drinking It shouldn’t keep you away from working with law enforcement.
I have had family members who have been illegal, I feel like I would fail in that question. As a Hispanic I’m sure they question us 1000x more. 😢 that’s what really just held me back.
@@mjgarcia7332I stopped, my application is now closed. But I won’t lie it’s in the back of my mind everyday. 🥺 Those what ifs… I want to do my job and enforce our countries laws & I know ID do an amazing job I’ve always wanted to be in that field but I feel like the process is just too much & very intimidating

How’s it going for you sir?

They treat applicants like criminals.

Ayyyyy 🫡
I took the CBP polygraph and failed...I was shocked. That's what held me back from becoming an agent. Great channel, brother.
Damn bro . Sorry to hear that Do you mind if we get in touch ?
Try VA police l
Not as easy as you think@@thezfamily989

Not a bad idea. All those other agencies probably require HS diploma/GED/college or some correctional work though?
NMSP does require a poly where are you getting your information from
@ShadowBoxer33 not really, VA police is federal law enforcement agency within veteran affairs, most hire with no Leo experience.
Great video
Don’t give up bro
I’m 40 about to do the polygraph. Don’t quit
How was it?
Can you give some tip
I heard if you have to take the polygraph in Texas take it in Houston and not Del Rio and not San Antonio. Also, I’m sorry to hear about your struggles bro I hope you are doing better.
Where are you hearing these things if I may ask?
I’m curious to know too!
why houston and not san antonio or laredo?
Same happened with me. I said a dam machine can't look into it mind. It's intimidation type thing put wires on your body & ask dumb questions.
I left found something else
Hey bro just saw one of your first videos you being hyped up to now this one.. Man keep your head up as other doors will open for you.. So if you fail the polygraph does that mean your permanently barred from applying again in any federal position?

so did you go through the academy first and then the polygraph? if so thats tuff man
❤
Question my buddy was going to be a border patrol agent cause he doesn’t really got much going for him except for like a Ged but he didn’t know all the requirements can he apply with a Ged ?? And is it worth him doing
Yes, he can.
I will only say that I am sure the polygraph test has ruled out A LOT of good candidates for the job.
september
Isn’t there a polygraph testing in the valley ?
Hi, I have a question, we can aply just with a high school diploma? I'm 20 years old.
Yes, I’m taking my poly Friday and I only have a hs diploma
Bp doesn't give 2 shits about education, you can go in as a dropout
Hey, I'm thinking about starting my application. I'm 18 and heard they accept 18 yrs. I've held a Military Secret Clearance. My dream is becoming a CBP Agent, What do you recommend me doing?
Did you flunk out of the military? It says you held a SC, indicating past tense… which at 18 would suggest this.
@@reaperboy36 was medically separated. i’m all cleared now and can re enlist now
Polygraphs are lame they’re never accurate
What if you don’t have a hs diploma or GED? Can this disqualify you ?
No it won’t disqualify you
