Decision question
When applying for a position that explicitly conditions employment on achieving PE licensure within 90 days, and knowing he had already failed the PE exam twice, was Engineer Intern A ethically obligated to volunteer that exam failure history at the interview even though XYZ Consultants never asked about prior exam attempts?
Focus
Engineer Intern A Pre-Employment PE Exam Failure Disclosure Decision
Option1
Remain silent about prior PE exam failures at the interview, relying on the employer's failure to ask as relieving any affirmative disclosure duty, and disclose only upon direct inquiry or when a material post-hire change occurs (such as a third failure)
Option2
Proactively disclose both prior PE exam failures at the interview as part of a candid representation of licensure trajectory, treating the two failures as material qualification facts directly bearing on the employer's stated 90-day licensure condition
Option3
Remain silent about prior PE exam failures at the interview but, upon accepting the offer and before commencing employment, proactively disclose the two prior failures to the employer as a faithful agent notification of material risk bearing on the 90-day licensure condition
