So I had a interview as a Security Guard GS position to work for the US Navy here in my area in Florida and kind of hesitant to take the job offer as they want to hire me. The interview went okay but the Cheif Detective asked me some personal questions as it referenced my Marriage and how many kids I have and so forth. It made me a bit uncomfortable and he basically fled though the interview without taking any of my concerns, does anyone have experience working for a GS position on base

Most law enforcement jobs, even security, delve quite a bit into your personal life. They want to know who you live with and have lived with for a period of years, your siblings your friends your social media. Often times you’ll go through psychological evaluations that well go even further, though in security rather than policing it won’t be AS in depth, I can definitely see questions like “how many kids do you have” being relatively standard.

Appreciate it, thank you for your input

I've actually been conducting interviews for the last week and most of the times that is my first question. " Tell me about yourself.. wife/husband , kids...what are your hobbies? How do you get rid of stress or decompress after a long day?" Most of the time in a oral interview they are also reading alot of body language..seeing how you deal with response. Eye contact, body posture, how you conduct yourself with an individual you don't know.

More than anything they want to make sure you’re not related or associated with family members who may have a criminal record or actively involved in criminal activity.

How is that uncomfortable? They ask those questions to see if you have time to work or if you would be committed because married people with kids have many things going on at their home that they either miss work a lot or call off sick all he time.

Sounds good to me a lot can be determined by a few questions, and a. Lot of attention to body language. 👍

Anyone available to review my resume/guide me through this job search? I’ve been applying places for the past 6 months and am not getting responses.
