(9,527 posts)If you know you've got this stuff in your past, come clean beforehand. You wouldn't have to name names, but be honest about what you did, find some sort of penance (sexual harassment training, donations to appropriate groups, if you're in charge of a company put into place better protections). Waiting around seems like a horrible choice.
