Recently filled this form out. What a pain
It can be for sure!
Hey, thanks for sharing this informative video. I have a question concerning debt. What about unpaid hospital bills, credit card debts, or other debts that were caused by not working or in between jobs?
Did get a federal job and all these videos helped.
@@boldnbrash7028 awesome!
Thank you so much for the information. This is really helpful. I have 2 days to fill out this form and the recruiter has not answer my question relating to the signing part.
What was your question? There are 2 signature lines on the 306. 1 you sign before as the applicant. The 2nd you sign in orientation as the appointee.
Good evening!! Thanks for this amazing video! Credit question: Does having a high amount of credit card debt causes red flag for public trust clearance? I dont have any collections, student loan, owed taxes, bankruptcies or public records
You're welcome! Lower level investigations don't even pull your credit report so as long as you aren't behind on payments you should be fine. One exception would be if your job required a purchase or travel card and you didn't have good enough credit to be approved. That could be an issue.
Thank you sir!
@@xktwnxl4zlx213 you're welcome!
Great video! For non-sensitive positions, do you have to complete the equip form? My position is stated as “non-risk.”
Thank you! You have to do eqip or eapp for all federal positions. Non-risk should be SF-85.
@@federalhiringadvice1385thank you!
Quick unrelated question, I received an offer from the us space force. Do you know if they give annual bonuses in addition to the Base GS salary?
I don't know for sure.
Bankrupcy question- the OF 306 and eqip/eapp cover bankrupcy, but specifically ask about last 7 years. For TS clearance, or any clearance, is it recommended to include old bankruptcies longer than 10 years? I currently have zero debt besides home loan, and answered all financial questions honestly, because my bankrupcy was outside of 7 (13 years ago). Should I mention this during the in person interview with BI?
If it's outside of the time frame they ask for I wouldn't think you'd need to disclose it.
@federalhiringadvice1385 thank you!

Question my name was put in incorrectly on this form will Hr let correct my name after the onboarding due dates
You can let them know anytime so it can be fixed. It populates from the onboarding questionnaire so you have to change it there.
Not to mentioned I made the mistake twice because the onboarding forms were a bit confusing but, hopefully I can correct it soon I did email the HR and sponsorship rep Thanks
@@Shawnshawna1106 they can be confusing. You're welcome!
A person with a DUI can work for the government?
Yes they can. Would just be reviewed as part of the investigation. Things that could matter are how long ago and if it was more than once.
Is prior military service considered "employment by the Federal Govt" regarding section 18?
Since you include your military time at the top of the form section 18 would just be federal civilian service.
Hello again,
My HR rep just let me know that my background check is still pending adjudication. Does that mean it's at the final step?
@@earlwilliams2711 hello! Adjudication is the final step. Must be waiting for the end.
my job just sent out this form for us to fill out, we were never considered federal employees so im confused, are we now considered federal employees? nobody here is answering our questions unfortunately
If you ever completed a federal background investigation then you would have filled out the 306.
@@federalhiringadvice1385 i guess im just confused because my job isnt a federal job, so i wasnt sure why they handed us these forms to fill out. unless we are in the process of becoming federal
