    New subscriber just off of how informative, and too the point this video is. I’m current at 440lbs, with osteoarthritis in my knees. My right knee is in pain daily, so after watching this, it’s clear this job may be to much for me in my current state(as I’m working to lose weight.) thank you so much for making this video.

      You can get a waiver/exemption for it. Though you can be denied. All federal jobs are highly competitive, so they can easily choose someone without any medical problems, unless your medical problem is due to a disability caused by the US military.

      You'll want to get that taken care of asap. Also on the application you will be asked things like this, whether you're in debt, just answer everything truthfully and you should be fine. Do not I repeat do not lie, it's a Federal Government background check, they will look and they will find out. My background check took about 6 months or so, it's a very extensive multi-layered check. Good luck and I hope this helps 💪🏾

      background check just checks if you have any misdemeanors or felonies. if you’re a felon you will fail the background check. misdemeanors are okay. It depends on the charge though. and yes, you do finger printing.
