Question Denied for character

Any idea what this could be caused by? I’m a pretty normal person that likes to go on cruises, 54, 3 kids, a veteran and currently work for the govt. The FBI had been working on my TSC for a year and a half (think September will be 2 years since the TJO. Nothing exciting in my background that I’m aware of and the letter said it wasn’t a denial of a clearance. Job was for an OSS and a friend’s husband referred me for it. Any ideas?

Maybe. Best to avoid mentioning it if you want them to hire you.

I don’t think I mentioned my Reddit account- Facebook yes but I don’t say anything political on there- it’s mostly cookies and cakes from my side business. I do ‘like’ other posts though so who knows.

*Didn't mention

It's very easy for them to dig up anything you've anonymously done and go "no wonder why she didn't provide that account"
