depends on how in-depth the check is.  If they are only looking for felonies, the miosdo won't show.  But, if they do an entire crimianl background check, then obviously it'll show.  If the application question only asked for felonies, you answered corrrectly, and they ahould not be able to hold that against you (so long as you have a decent story behind it - either a funny one or one that down plays the severity of it.).  \n\nthere are a couple of checks that employers use: the DMV, the local police records at your local precinct (& sometimes surrounding areas), or the full blown FBI type searches.  FBI is most srintgent search, pretty much everythign shows up, DMV mostly driving related charges, and the local precinct only shows arrests (all) made in that area.

sounds like a nice idea- even if by the time they recieve it- they already hired someone else!  Maybe they will keep you in mind next time there is an opening if they dont hire you this time.

Break into the records building...\n\nActually there are ways to do background checks on people, businesses hiring do this all the time.  A little searching will probably turn up something, but don't expect it to be free.

I think you are going to have to ask them.  It is at the discretion of the hiring manager to decide how much you would be offered.

Fr. Chuck's right again.  You weren't convicted of anything, so you are correct in checking "no" on your application.  The term "background check" covers a lot of territory, and what's actually uncovered in a background check depends a lot on who's doing the checking.  With a bank, I wouldn't worry a whole lot about it.  Keep in mind that in most states, if you aren't hired, you have a right to ask why.  It might be worth the peace of mind in asking, just so you'd know if potential employers are somehow finding out about your past mistake.  Good luck to you.

Not sure how you would do this, but could you do a background check on yourself to see if there is anything there incorrectly?  There are tons of cases of credit reports being flawed.  Isn't it possible that a background could have false information in it?\n\nIf they found something, they certainly should have told you.

It's not you, it's the drug clinic - no doubt they lost your stuff.  Unfortunately, the company you want to go to may not want to pay for a new test - and if they found someone more experienced in the meantime, your only hope is if you received an offer in writing and then accepted in writing... and even then, the drug screening was probably a condition written on your job application somewhere, so the company can worm out of the offer if they want.\n\nNo one suspects you of a bad test, but it may be that the cards are falling lousy.  I'm sorry about your situation here.

u have to pay to get that information but employers get it through a nationwide search. some just go by what u tell them. employers pay a fee when they do criminal record checks worldwide. but if u want to pay for that info. all u have to do is go to website that tell u about a background check. when i did it i had to pay 49.00 dollars and that was one thing that came up employment background

Maybe they are sifting through all the potential employees. I would call them back and ask them. You could be honest and just ask them if they are still considering you .

I know in NY they can only verify that you did actually work for the company during the time you stated. No other information can be provided, however, if you provide the new company with your SS# to do a background check they will be able to see all the jobs you've held and the salary/wages you received. IMO, just don't lie, it will come back to haunt you.

your crime does not fit under discrimination, as you committed that crime.  That was a choice, unlike race, gender, etc...I don't think that everyone will turn you down, I typically look at the crime when hiring, and believe me, there are a lot more people out there with records than you would guess.  If someone was a thief, or violent, I will not hire them.  Companies can refuse to hire for ANY reason.  It may just be that here in MIchigan the economy is so bad, and unemployment is so rampant, that their just aren't enough job openings.  But, I would be honest about yourself, if they are asking.

It is against the law for a former employer to tell a prospective employer ANY false information.  Most of the time, they are only allowed to confirm your title, pay rate, and if you quit or got fired.\n\nSo relax, find another job, then leave yours without worry.

They should be able to verify whether or not the check was ever cashed, and if not, then you should be entitled to it.  You need to keep on these people though!  They're just civil servants.  They don't care about you, as long as they get their paycheck!!  Fight until you see that check!!!

I'm certain that you have been overlooked for a position because you have a felony on your record.  Many employers also perform background checks so if you did not list it it may come up later on to deal with.  \n\nI would suggest doing some networking so the hiring manager already has a recommendation from a trusted source.  This could help them see you as the person you are now and get your foot in the door.\n\nI would suggest leaving it blank as opposed to checking no because you do sign the application stating it is correct to the best of you knowledge. \n\nThe employer may not even notice that you did not fill that question out.  If they do notice it would allow you the opportunity to explain it in an interview instead of never getting that far.

If an employer wants to check your workers comp background, they first need to have to offer you a tentative offer of employment.  The only reason they could then disqualify you is if they find that you LIED.  They can't just say no based on previous injury.

You have nothing to worry about. There is a statute of limitaions that is well past. If it bothers you so much, send the company the money for the check, but I am sure they do not even have a record of it any more!!!
