If you are selected to participate in the panel interview and are unavailable, we regret that we will not be able to reschedule you. Conviction History and Background Investigation: If you receive a conditional job offer, you will be fingerprinted, and your fingerprints will be sent to the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The resulting report of your conviction history (if any) will be used to determine whether the nature of your conviction conflicts with the specific duties and responsibilities of the job for which you have received a conditional job offer. If a conflict exists, you will be asked to present any evidence of rehabilitation that may mitigate the conflict, except when federal or state regulations bar employment in specific circumstances. Having a conviction history does not automatically preclude you from a job with the City of Concord. Appointments to this position are also subject to a polygraph and background investigation coordinated by the Concord Police Department. The following list describes some areas that are covered in the investigation. * Your relatives, references, and acquaintances are asked to comment on your suitability for the position. * The information supplied regarding your educational history is examined and verified. * You must list a history of your residences. * Your work history and experience are examined with regard to your dependability, relationships with fellow workers, trustworthiness, and general job performance. * Military service records are subject to verification. * The background investigation considers your management of personal finances (however, being in debt does not automatically disqualify you). * Your criminal, driving, and insurance records are evaluated. Felony convictions will be grounds for disqualification from the selection process. * If you have a history of recent or prolonged use of illegal controlled substances (i.e., Cocaine, Methamphetamine, Marijuana, etc.), you may be dismissed from the process. Deliberate misstatements or omissions can and often will result in your application being rejected, regardless of the nature or reason for the misstatements/omissions. In fact, the number one reason individuals fail and/or are disqualified during the background investigation is because they deliberately withhold or misrepresent job-relevant information.
