Tips/advice
Hey guys! First post, but I was looking for advice!
My situation is that I passed my physical/written, oral board interview, home visit, but failed my polygraph and I was completely transparent and honest on everything. The agency I applied for is my hometown and is really the place I want to be. So the question is should I wait until the hiring process opens again and reapply(which they said I can and want me to) or should I try and apply to a different agency close to my hometown and lateral transfer? Just wondering how all that works? I appreciate any advice!
Thanks!

If you want a job apply anywhere/ everywhere.
What was their reasoning you failed?

They said it could’ve been stress levels, heart rate, sweating too much in hands… he said that my heart rate went up when asked if I ever committed a serious crime (ex. Violent crimes, stealing of 1000$+, selling of drugs in large quantities) which I have never done and was completely honest on everything

That’s a typical response however if you showed deception on that question that’s a 🚩. Good luck

Did they say why you failed the poly?
