[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you sit for it, you could still decline to answer questions. If they ask if you’ve had affairs, you could say “I don’t think that’s relevant and I decline to answer.” Or you could say “I’m not currently having an affair.” I assume this would be about your vulnerability to extortion? [b]Tbh I think they should be more worried that you’re willing to sit for a polygraph to get a job. That seems like way too much faith in authority. [/b][/quote]

+100, I get if it was for an intelligence agency or top-secret military work, but a regular ol' private sector job?  No way[/quote]

It’s not really a regular 9-5 type job. It’s sort of an executive assistantship, except it sounds like a “My Man Friday” type job, where there’s all sorts of additional duties/responsibilities. Lots of travel coordination involved,  access to financial material/resources, and almost certainly proprietary business  information, and probably a pretty all encompassing NDA. So I “get” why they want someone who’s absolutely trustworthy. My H joked that it sounds like a Valet worthy of a Bond villain. I guess that’s sort of accurate in some regards. [/quote]

This is so crazy and illogical. You, by your own admission, had multiple affairs while married. This means you are not trustworthy. Yet, you've convinced yourself that this employer will see you as absolutely trustworthy even though you plan to tell them about these affairs during the polygraph. So you believe this employer will be like "as long as you admit you're cool with lying and scheming and covering up evidence, I'll deem you trustworthy enough to hire you." And that sounds like a good employer to you. My brain is spinning. [/quote]
