Yes.
Confidential - credit check and national/local agency check
Secret - reference check, credit check, felonies, past residences, family members outside the U.S., anything you've been arrested for even if it was expunged.
Top Secret - they find out all about you from your form and an interview; countries you've visited and why, how many times you've smoked weed, your friends, your family, your neighbors (they VISIT them), that time you fukked a girl and left her, etc. Depending on the type of TS they may require you to take a polygraph.
It's important to be 100% honest on your SF85/85-P/86 (form you fill out for the clearance depending on the job). The number one reason why people get denied is because they lied about something and the investigator found out (poor finances can get your clearance denied too). They want to know you can be trusted.

It depends on the position but definitely criminal activity and credit. People have been fired after 15 years of service because of bad credit.
I know for certain they recruit people fresh out of college with a bachelors. You can negotiate your grade and/or step level.
Yes I am.
Where I work you have to get approval to go on vacation if it's outside of the United States.
thank you. im good on all of this stuff...all i should have is student loan debt...which im working on now
*subs* Trying to do this right now. Took a test for a position that started @ $35K yr 
Got an offer for a similar position near L.A. but they wanted me to start in a few weeks if I was hired 
. Still high in the score rankings so I'm sending apps for positions closer to home.
CA has a LOT of government jobs to
off on. The trick is to know someone already working for the state and being able to sign up for a test. Got the first one down.
