Should an undeclared job and under the table jobs be mentionned for security clearance?
Hi there, I am applying for a security clearance for an airport job, should i list a job I had under the table when i was a student or would it be better to not mention it?

This is for a security clearance, so don’t rely on them to just take your word for it. They’re likely to check you out sooner or later, and if they find you’ve lied (and they will), you’re screwed.
