For me they wanted me to tell the every single time I ever did drugs and they ask you to explain what happened and what the situation was. They want to know every ticket you've ever had, they want to know about every single one of them the situation in why you did what you did, your thought process ect. The samething with accidents and fights. The interview I did was long, they basically have you fill out a document ahead of time that is pages and pages and then they go through it asking you about the things you filled out, stuff I've mentioned above and more.
They want to know if you've ever been affiliated with gangs or if anyone you know or related to has been. Same with criminal convictions, they want to know if any of your friends are immediate family have ever been convicted of anything and they'll question you on that stuff.
If you've used drugs in the past you are not totally passed over but you have to show you haven't done it in a long time and that you've made changes. The same goes with any other negatives like speeding tickets ect.... If you were smoking pot last year and have recent tickets among other things you probably have no chance of getting hired right now. They want to see you've made changes in your life if you have negative attributes in your past. If you were a social user they may overlook it if enough time has past, if you were a junky or used a lot you'll have no chance.
I cant remember if the polygraph comes before or after panel interview but if you get that far there going to ask you all the same questions again, if you lie about anything and they find out you're out.
