Basically they did a background check, looking for criminal records and credit report, I had to give references, they contacted one of the three I gave, and I guess they did a background check on the person they contacted, but I never took a polygraph. But being 18, I had no criminal record and essentially no credit at all.
If you don’t use any other social media or haven’t posted anything disqualifying, then not telling them about your Lemmy account would help your odds.
The poly and/or reference interviews would not work out for you anyways.

I had a secret clearance in my army days, 02-08. There was no polygraph at all.

Were you interviewing for a federal law enforcement agency or a local? Were you going to receive secret clearance?
Things have changed all the same.
